ST. PAUL, Minn. – Natural gas is used to heat two out of three homes in Minnesota and the cost to heat this winter is going up.
Natural gas prices have increased by 180 percent since last September. CenterPoint Energy reports natural gas last September was 60 cents per therm. It now costs one dollar, nine cents a therm.
Supply was up during the pandemic, while demand was down – but that has now switched and the increased demand is part of the reason for the cost increase.
