Raleigh, N.C. — The state Utilities Commission on Monday approved a request by PSNC to lower gas rates by 10 percent.
The company estimates that the reduction will save the average household about $12 per month during the winter/heating season.
The change went into effect Sunday.
PSNC lowered its rates by 14 percent in early January.
