HARRISBURG – Although a steady stream of cold weather has eluded Pennsylvania so far this season, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) continues to work to ensure consumers and the natural gas industry are prepared for Old Man Winter’s arrival. 

The PUC will hold its annual Winter Reliability Assessment meeting, which provides a snapshot of various conditions that may affect natural gas supply, price and service reliability for the upcoming winter, Nov. 4 in Harrisburg.

The Winter Reliability Assessment meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, in Hearing Room 1 of the Commonwealth Keystone Building.  Representatives from the PUC, Energy Association of Pennsylvania, PECO Energy Co., UGI Energy Services and Spectra Energy Transmission LLC have been invited to speak.
