Your gas and electric should not both be that high. Whichever is your heat MIGHT be that high, but the other should be low. Same will be true for the summer if you like your thermostat on 65 which makes your air conditioner work overtime.
To answer your question, that is not normal to have those prices for your utilities. You could call Duquesne light or Peoples but I’m not sure how much they will help you beyond basic advice over the phone. I would make sure all my bulbs are LEDs, my hot water tank is set lower, my thermostat is low, try to consolidate laundry cycles, try to consolidate dishwasher cycles, turn stuff off when not in use, and anything else you can think of to lower energy use
