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 />
