LG&E officials say the company will pass energy savings onto customers.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The people of Louisville have experienced sky-high utility bills following a shocking wave of subzero windchill temperatures, however those days may be over.

Louisville Gas & Electric Company has announced due to the price of natural gas lowering and Louisville's weather warming up, customers utility bills could be slashed as much as 16%.

With temperatures predicted to rise and gas prices predicted to fall, LG&E has made the decision to pass that savings onto their customers.

LG&E Vice President of Gas Operations Tom Jessee said providing Louisville with the lowest cost possible is a top priority.

“We know that higher natural gas market prices have made managing bills more challenging for customers, and we’re pleased to help provide them some much-needed relief,” Jessee said.

The lower gas prices are likely to affect utility bill costs starting Feb. 1, according to an LG&E press release.
