ST. LOUIS – Spire Missouri, a natural gas provider in the St. Louis area, is set to decrease monthly bills for customers in the near future.
Spire announced Tuesday that the Missouri Public Service Commission approved a plan through which customers will see a significant bill decrease, starting Nov. 15, 2024.
A spokesperson for Spire tells FOX 2 that the average monthly bill will decrease by around $15.86 for customers in its eastern Missouri region, specifically the St. Louis-area. The company reports that’s a decrease of 16.18% on average.
The anticipated decrease is due to a new purchased gas Adjustment approved by the Missouri Public Service Commission. Spire says the lower bills reflect lower gas prices and the recovery of deferred costs from 2021 winter storms.
Spire East’s charges for gas will change from $0.77588 to $0.52486 per ccf, according to the company.
Spire is also planning to decrease bills by around $18.70 on average, or 17.41%, for customers in its western Missouri region, specifically the Kansas City-area.
Spire serves 1.7 million homes across three states, including tens of thousands of customers across the St. Louis region.
