What is a Purchased gas adjustment or PGA?

A PGA, or purchased gas adjustment, is the actual cost for natural gas. This cost, or PGA, is what Spire pays for natural gas – with no markup to our customers. The cost of gas, or PGA, may be adjusted one or more times throughout the year, and is generally adjusted in November to reflect changes in natural gas cost.

Why has the PGA changed?

Changes in natural gas prices can mean a lower or higher PGA on your bill compared to your previous statement. The PGA reflects the cost Spire pays to purchase natural gas, which is then passed along to you with no markup. Many factors are influencing the price increases of items and service we use – including natural gas.
