There were no shopping customers in UGI’s service territory between 2006<br />

and 2008. For Calendar Year <strong>2009</strong>, there is one EGS serving 17 customers. UGI<br />

does not own electric generation supply and will meet its customers’ energy<br />

requirements by making wholesale purchases in various markets. Under a<br />

Stipulation in Settlement, adopted in June 2006, UGI will provide PLR service to all<br />

customers during <strong>2009</strong> under generation rates that are limited to a system<br />

average of 9.796 cents per KWH for residential classes and 9.842 cents per KWH<br />

for all other rate schedules.<br />

UGI offers a Voluntary Load Reduction Program to commercial and<br />

industrial customers with the ability to reduce a measurable and verifiable portion<br />

of their load during peak periods, or supply some part of their load using selfgeneration<br />

facilities. A two hour load-reduction event was called on January 22,<br />

2008, during which 2,844 KWH were conserved. UGI also has a low-income<br />

weatherization program (LIURP), which includes the installation of a variety of<br />

weatherization measures.<br />

UGI is a member of PJM.<br />
