natural gas distribution utility filed a rate case requesting approval to increase its natural gas distribution base rates with the&nbsp;Maine Public Utilities Commission (Docket No.&nbsp;2019-00092). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unitil&nbsp;has requested an increase of&nbsp;$7.0 million&nbsp;in base revenue, or an increase of approximately 7&nbsp;percent over total 2018 operating
revenue, for effect&nbsp;on August&nbsp;1, 2019, but expects a Commission suspension period through April&nbsp;1, 2020. The primary driver of the request is due to continued investments in the system to improve the overall safety of the system and
to reliably serve a growing number of customers. The filing also includes a proposal by the Company for an alternative rate mechanism called the Capital Investment Recovery Adjustment for a period of three years which will allow for the recovery of
costs associated with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-growth</FONT> capital projects due to the need to relocate, upgrade, replace and abandon existing distribution facilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the rates are approved as filed, the typical residential gas heating customer using approximately 68 therms would see a monthly increase of&nbsp;$9.90, or
