Gas Supply Auction Scheduled
On Feb. 28, the company will conduct auctions to determine natural gas suppliers and the prices some customers will pay for their gas.
The auctions will determine rates for standard service and standard choice offers.
The rates will take effect in April.
The Standard Service Offer is available only to PIPP Plus customers and to those not eligible to participate in Energy Choice.
Energy Choice allows customers to pick their natural gas supplier. They also can opt not to choose a gas supplier and still receive natural gas.
In that case, the customer is assigned to a supplier by Dominion East Ohio. That customer pays the Standard Choice Offer rate.
These customers pay a price determined by the auctions. All Standard Choice Offer customers pay the same price regardless of the supplier.
Customers in the Energy Choice program can switch to the Standard Choice rate but may be subject to an early cancellation fee from their supplier.
