Pennsylvania Natural Gas Producers Paid Fewer Impact Fees in 2020 as Prices Tanked
Lower natural gas prices and the mix of new and existing wells in Pennsylvania drove an estimated $55.9 million year/year decrease in the impact fees collected by natural gas producers in 2020, according to the latest figures from the state’s Independent Fiscal Office (IFO).
Natural gas producers paid a projected $144.9 million in impact fees last year, the IFO said. For the same period, the average price of natural gas at U.S. benchmark Henry Hub was $2.08/MMBtu. Because the price dropped below $2.25, the impact fee schedule decreased by $5,000 per horizontal well compared to 2019 levels, according to IFO. This resulted in a roughly $52.1 million decline in fees collected.

The past year this state we’re in saw encouraging progress on climate action, clean energy, environmental justice, reductions in plastic pollution, and more preserved open space and farmland.
Parks and open space – It is no secret New Jerseyans love nature and open space as demonstrated by the overwhelming success of every statewide land preservation ballot question in the past 60 years.
