Equitable Gas
About Equitable Gas
Peoples Gas formerly knows as Equitable Gas is the largest natural gas distribution company in Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, Indiana, Altoona, Clarion, Johnston, and Uniontown), providing natural gas service to approximately 740,000 customers in Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Very recently (March 2020), Peoples Gas was acquired by Essential Utilities, retaining its name, but joining the Essential group of companies.
True to its motto of “making your life better”, Peoples Gas launched an aggressive multi-year effort to replace and upgrade over 3,000 miles of natural gas pipelines in the United States. Unfortunately, that has inevitably resulted in its gas rates increases.

Shop For Natural Gas Rates
If you haven’t yet switched to an independent natural gas supplier, it means that you are paying the “default” electric rate from Peoples Gas. In 2019, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Committee has approved another increase of this rate – and it is likely that it will continue to go up in the foreseeable future. Get ahead of this increase and make your own research – by entering your zip code and finding better rates in your service area.
