Aggregation

A large buying group may be able to get a better price for the group members than you might get on your own, and it may include other benefits such as energy use analysis and management.

Typically, when local governments organize aggregation programs they will appear as a ballot issue and, if passed, generally are initiated on an opt-out basis, which means residents are automatically enrolled unless they choose not to participate by replying to the opt-out notice. Opt-in aggregation programs enable customers to join on an individual basis at the customer's specific request.

Things to consider when shopping for an Aggregation program:

  • Are there any aggregation programs available in my area?
  • What are the goals of the aggregation buying group?
  • How many members are in the aggregation buying group?
  • What gas rate has the buying group secured?

To see if an aggregation program is available in your area, please visit the PUCO's natural gas aggregation map. If you have questions about government aggregation in your community, you should contact your local government office. Some suppliers offers may not be available in all Enbridge Gas Ohio service area. View a list of approved Enbridge Gas Ohio suppliers.

Find your current charges

If you participate in aggregation, your Current Charges portion have a named supplier and typically include the name of your municipality/city and a named aggregator, such as Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC). Aggregation programs are typically a ballot issue voted on by constituents for a geographical area. They are either on an opt-in or opt-out basis. Rates can be fixed, variable, or include both in a contract term. Ending an Aggregation agreement early may result in termination fees. Contact the supplier on your bill before making any changes.

Frequently asked questions

One of two things will happen when your Energy Choice agreement ends:

Automatic renewal

You will need to review your contract terms and conditions and look for information about what happens at the end of the contract period and for any automatic renewal provisions. Automatic renewals are fairly common in supplier contracts. Keep in mind, your supplier is required to provide you with a notice by mail that your original contract is ending. In most instances, that notice will contain information about automatically renewing your contract. If the renewal notice contains no material changes, such as an increase in a fixed rate, a change from a fixed to a variable rate or any new fees from your original contract and is for a period of six months or longer, the supplier is required to send you a notice about your new contract's expiration by mail at least 45-days before your original contract ends. If your contract does not have a renewal provision, you will be returned to Enbridge Gas Ohio temporarily at the end of the contract period.

Return to Enbridge Gas Ohio before moving to SCO/MRR

  • Residential and small business customers: Customers whose contracts with an Energy Choice supplier or a governmental aggregation opt-in program expire without renewal will return to Enbridge Gas Ohio's SSO rate for up to two billing periods before they are moved to the Standard Choice Offer (SCO) rate and assigned to a participating SCO supplier.
  • Medium and large business customers: Customers whose contracts with an Energy Choice supplier or a governmental aggregation opt-in program expire return to Enbridge Gas Ohio's Standard Service Offer (SSO) rate for up to two billing periods. After that time, customers eligible to participate in Energy Choice are assigned to a participating retail MRR supplier if they do not choose a retail supplier on their own. Medium nonresidential customers may elect to receive service under the SCO.

Yes. You can switch to another natural gas supplier at any time, but if you are receiving service under an Energy Choice agreement or through a governmental aggregation program, there may be penalties for doing so. Depending on the supplier, you may be charged a cancellation fee to end your contract early. Check your contract to determine the amount of the fee. If you move directly from one natural gas supplier to another, the actual switch may take up to two billing cycles. At no time during the switch should you experience a disruption in your natural gas service. There is no termination fee to switch from the SCO or MRR to an Energy Choice agreement with a selected supplier.

The theory behind governmental aggregation is simple: by using the bulk purchasing power of communities or other buying groups, greater savings can be passed on to individual consumers. By joining together, consumers can also gain the ability to utilize a team of experienced professionals to negotiate for better prices and protections.

Many communities in Northeast Ohio have formed a governmental aggregation group called the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC). NOPEC is the largest such aggregation in the United States. To participate with NOPEC, you must be a Enbridge Gas Ohio customer up to date with your payments to Enbridge Gas Ohio who lives in a NOPEC Gas Community. If you are with another supplier, compare your rate with NOPEC’s rate and consider any cancellation fee that you may be charged before changing to NOPEC’s aggregation program.

Some low-cost or no-cost ways to save energy and money include:

  • Adjust the thermostat temperature settings: You can save as much as 1 percent for every degree you lower your thermostat.
  • Furnace efficiency: Newer, higher-efficiency furnaces use less natural gas than older, less-efficient furnaces.
  • Home insulation: Well-insulated homes use less natural gas for heating than poorly insulated homes.

Yes, there are a number of programs that income-eligible residential customers can apply for including HEAP, PIPP Plus and EnergyShare Customers can apply for HEAP and PIPP Plus by calling the Ohio Department of Development at 1-800-282-0880.
