LOS ANGELES—Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) Feb. 28 announced that average residential bills will decrease by some 67 percent in March compared to January—the result of wholesale market prices for natural gas dropping for a second straight month.

“SoCalGas estimates that average residential bills will drop from $300 for January usage to an estimated $100 for March usage,” the utility said in a statement.
