Hi all,
Does anyone have any insights on determining savings of selecting your natural gas supplier? In PA, the state deregulated some 10 years ago and periodically I get offers from other natural gas suppliers about "savings" I can lock in for 2 years but often the prices haven't been that much lower than what I pay to Columbia Gas Co. -- often times the rate with Columbia fluctuates even lower than the lock in rate.
But I received an offer yesterday from Dominion Peoples indicating I could lock in for $1.099 ccf vs. the $1.437 I'm paying with Columbia. So, I'm trying to get some idea of how to evaluate this for savings.
Any comments on Dominion Peoples as a company also appreciated.
Thanks,
