The Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) has approved new charges for Florida City Gas’s (FCG) 2026 Safety, Access, and Facility Enhancement (SAFE) Program. The decision aims to maintain the safety and reliability of natural gas service in the region.
The SAFE Program is designed to improve infrastructure by replacing old gas mains, removing high-risk “orange pipe,” relocating facilities for better access, and updating outdated equipment. In 2025, FCG replaced 31.7 miles of mains and 1,244 services as part of its general upgrades. Additionally, it completed the replacement of 18 miles of mains and 1,185 services specifically related to orange pipe removal.
Starting January 1, 2026, monthly SAFE charges will increase. Customers using less than 6,000 therms per year will pay $8.70 per month, up from $4.66. Those using more than 6,000 therms annually will see their charge rise to $11.01 from $7.77.
FCG plans to invest about $108 million in system improvements during 2026 to further strengthen safety measures and ensure reliable service over the long term.
Florida City Gas serves approximately 116,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Miami-Dade, Broward, St. Lucie, Indian River, Brevard, Palm Beach, Hendry, and Martin Counties.
