I ended our first Blog with notes on the cost increases for utilities. These are price increases that affect all of us and are happening in our own backyard. The cost of electricity next year, if approved by the state governing board, will be 8% higher than the current year while the cost of natural gas as announced is expected to increase 25% if approved by the State Industrial Board.
