2026 ARM Adjustment Request
The 2026 ARM seeks to recover through rates the spent capital and recovery of the costs of work already done in 2025 to meet the customers’ growing demand for natural gas service. That critical work included strengthening the safety and reliability of the company’s infrastructure, which continues to provide uninterrupted services to customers even on the coldest days of the year.

Rate Comparisons
The average Chattanooga Gas residential customer may expect to see an average total bill for the upcoming winter months as follows:
December
December 2026* of $117.98 as compared to December 2025 of $109.78.
January
January 2027* of $130.01 as compared to January 2026 of $140.51.
February
February 2027 of $146.94 as compared to February 2026 of $115.64.
*Total bill calculation estimates above are based on current gas costs (Aug. 2026) and are subject to change. They include the cost for natural gas itself and not just the charges approved in the 2026 ARM process. The 2026 rate increase to the typical residential customer’s total average bill due specifically to the ARM would be $2.17 per month and will go into effect Sept. 1, 2026. The cost for natural gas that is billed to customers reflects the impact of the available supply and the demand. Chattanooga Gas does not profit from these costs but passes through to customers only the costs that it incurs. The current per therm price customers pay for natural gas delivered by Chattanooga Gas comprises approximately 43% of a typical residential customer’s bill due to economic factors that have affected the commodity’s market price.
