The Weather Normalization Adjustment (WNA) - literally our gas company "recouping lost revenue" from us for using less of it's product.
"When the weather during the winter months is warmer than normal, customers' gas usage and bills tend to be lower - this means a shortfall in the company's revenue. With WNA, Washington Gas is allowed to recover the revenue loss by placing a surcharge on the customer's bill in a form of a WNA charge."
Sure in 'colder' years they'll offer a credit...but when your product is directly contributing to WARMER winters....guess which usually happens?
