UGI Utilities Inc. of Reading, wants to raise its base rate by nearly $75 million a year affecting commercial, industrial, and residential customers.

Commonwealth Court judges are standing by the state Public Utility Commission’s October 2018 approval of UGI’s rate increase of 3.6% for its electric division that was disputed by consumer advocates alleging the utility company would overcollect.

Groundbreaking on the training center is expected to begin in the spring. It will be used to provide training for UGI personnel within its 45-county service area.

UGI has improved its services for Spanish-speaking customers, according to a press release from Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

The Fortune 500 is out and a number of companies in Central Pennsylvania and the Greater Lehigh Valley have made the cut.

With an eye on providing a centralized location for its workforce, Berks County-based UGI Utilities consolidated operations and finalized its move to a new corporate headquarters in northeastern Lancaster County. Officials will host a grand opening April 9.
