Heating Oil & Natural Gas Payment Plans In PA

Q: Why do energy prices go up in the winter and summer?

The price of your energy is impacted by several factors, but supply and demand most often determine the rates in the marketplace. As people use more natural gas in the winter to heat their homes, the demand increases and may cause the price to rise. The same is true with electricity when cooling your home in the summer.

Q: Does my utility rate change?

The utility is subject to fluctuations in the market, and regulatory control of their prices. Although subject to commission review and oversight, your generation rate can and does change frequently with the utility.

Q: How are the prices for electricity and natural gas determined?

Since energy is a commodity, natural gas and electricity prices are impacted by the energy market. As an independent energy supplier, Shipley Energy purchases energy from the market to supply to consumers. Our energy procurement experts watch the price of energy minute by minute to find the best prices for our customers.
