Natural Gas Market Update

Natural Gas Aggregation

I saved more than $45 on last month’s DP&L electric bill because of city’s aggregation program. This savings translates into millions of dollars per year in city resident and city operational savings. Better these funds stay and be spent in the local economy rather than going into some remote entity’s pockets.

Several years ago the city’s voters approved ballot issues allowing the city to pursue both electric as well as gas aggregation. At the time their was little or no competition in the gas supply market. Now there are many providers competing for Ohio’s markets.

A January 2013 example of potential savings:

Use: 110 x 100 cubic feet (CCF)

Vectren charge per CCF 85 (.85) cents.

Total supplier charge $100.00 including sales tax.

Supplier charge plus non-aggregation delivery charge of $25 = $125.00

Estimated aggregation supplier charge of 50 (.50) cents per CCF would reduce the supplier charge to $59.00 and total bill to $84 or a savings of $41.00 for a similar month.. 

Villages in the county could also take advantage of aggregation but would have to put it on the ballot.

If interested contact City Hall at 382-5458 as well as city council members.
