FOLSOM ­- South Jersey Gas has notified the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities that it plans to provide a bill credit of approximately $10 million to its customers, meaning an average residential SJG gas customer will receive a credit of approximately $32 on their January bill.

SJG is able to offer the BGSS bill credit because of consistent lower wholesale natural gas prices and the overall management of the company’s gas supply portfolio, according to a Dec. 19 news release from the utility.
