How are my rates set?

Spire’s rates and programs are reviewed and approved by our state regulators, the Missouri Public Service Commission (MPSC).  

That means we can only change or adjust the amount charged for the cost of natural gas with approval from the MPSC. This adjustment – known as a Purchased Gas Adjustment or PGA – happens at least one time a year. There’s no mark up on this charge – what we pay for natural gas is what you pay.

Spire offers budget billing so you’ll know exactly what to expect each month and can stay on track with your budget. Budget billing helps you avoid fluctuations in your bill as your energy usage increases during the colder winter months.  

Will my natural gas service be interrupted during the transition to Spire?  

The transition of natural gas service from Southern Star to Spire will be seamless for existing customers. That means there will be no interruption to your natural gas service, and you can continue to use your natural gas appliances and equipment without disruption.

Who do I call if I smell gas? 

If you, as a Spire customer, ever smell natural gas – a rotten egg smell – here’s what you should do:   

  • Immediately leave the building and head to a location where no smell of gas can be detected. Until you've reached a safe distance, avoid smoking and using electronics like garage door openers or alarm systems, and don't turn on or off any lights. Most importantly, stay away from the area of the smell and keep others away as well. 
  • Once you're at a safe location, customers should call Spire's 24/7 emergency line right away at 800-582-1234 or call 911.  
  • If you don't own the office or residence, it's a good idea to notify the property owner or manager in case repairs need to be made inside.
  • Steer clear of the area until you’re told it’s safe by a gas safety professional (Spire employee, police, fireman or other first responder on scene).
