Virginia Natural Gas and the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VSCC), the governing body that regulates utilities in the state, agreed to terms that will enable us to promote the benefits of conserving energy and reduce the impact of changes in gas consumption for both customers and our company.

As part of the agreement, we have applied a revenue normalization adjustment (RNA) mechanism for residential customers.  The RNA ensures that we recover no more and no less than the allowed distribution revenue per customer approved by the VSCC.

The RNA is calculated after and is separate from the weather normalization adjustment.  It is a credit when the actual distribution revenue exceeds the allowed distribution revenue and a surcharge when the actual revenue is less than allowed.  The RNA is calculated by multiplying your consumption by the RNA factor.

For March, the RNA factor is 7 cents per ccf of gas used and will be applied on March bills.
