This spreads a customer’s estimated yearly natural gas costs into monthly payments to help manage their energy budget. The estimation is calculated by gas use history, expected gas prices, and weather forecasts. Then, the estimate is divided into 12 installment payments which are charged on the monthly bill. This will help you budget your finances as you will know what to expect for the amount charged.
