RALEIGH, N.C. — Get ready for a higher natural gas bill.

Monday, the North Carolina Utilities Commision granted PSNC Energy an increase of

That raises the price per therm from 67 cents to 81 cents.

The 21 percent increase translates to about $110 a year for most year-round residential customers.

The rate increase starts with the July bill.
