The Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) is a group of 125 member communities that have banded together to make bulk purchases of electricity and natural gas. NOPEC has locked into the final five (5) months of its agreement with Dominion Retail to supply natural gas to NOPEC customers in the Dominion East Ohio Gas utility service area.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Only East Ohio customers living in a NOPEC member community who are not in arrears on a payment plan with the utility are eligible.

Customers who are signed with another supplier are NOT eligible for the NOPEC program and will not receive the opt-out mailing.

CAN I JOIN IF I AM WITH ANOTHER SUPPLIER?

Yes, you would have to cancel your current contract with your current supplier, which would automatically transfer you back to Dominion East Ohio Gas Company. You would then be eligible when NOPEC conducts its next opt-out mailing for new residents, usually done quarterly. You will want to make sure that your current t supplier will not charge you a cancellation fee.

NOPEC GAS PURCHASES CONTINUE TO BE VERY LOW FOR THE SUMMER AND EARLY FALL

NOPEC has been able to continue with very good prices for our member communities in both the Dominion East Ohio area and the Columbia gas area through the Summer and into the early Fall.

In the Dominion East Ohio area our current price is $5.98 /mcf. This price will continue through the meter reading in October.

In the Columbia gas area our current price is $6.15 / mcf ($.615/ccf). This price will continue through the meter reading in September.

Prices have begun to increase and they are higher for late fall and winter then they had been recently. NOPEC will continue to monitor these prices. We do not want to purchase too early if the prices should, once again, decline. We also don’t want to wait too long as we look at the potential of higher prices in the near future.

We will keep you posted as we continue to monitor the gas market.

Remember, that if anyone has specific questions about either gas or electric, it is better to first refer them to our call centers and the call centers have their information and should be able to give them immediate answers to their questions. These numbers are:
