Liberty buys the gas we deliver to our customers on the open natural gas market. There are multiple factors contributing to the market price increase:

• Warmer temperatures across the US this summer created a higher demand for gas in the electric market, as many electric power plants are fueled by natural gas.
• A higher than normal demand for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) exports to Europe and Asia have also driven up market prices.
• Hurricane Ida caused a steep decline in natural gas production in August, which caused a spike in prices.
• Last season was warmer than normal, so people used less gas than expected. This year’s projection is based on normal winter usage. Therefore, the projected increase is higher because of a higher cost of gas AND a higher expected usage.
