The community has signed a natural gas aggregation agreement with AEP Energy at a rate of $0.6499 per ccf starting with the November 2025 bill and continuing through the October 2026 bill. Letters will be mailed to eligible accounts (see details below) starting late August and continuing through mid-September.

If you want to be in the natural gas aggregation program:

• If you receive a letter and want to be in the aggregation program, you don't need to do anything! By not responding to the letter, you will automatically be included in the program.

• If you are currently with a third-party supplier (outside of the aggregation program), you can opt-in to the program after letters are mailed. Check back here soon.

If you do not want to be in the natural gas aggregation program:

• If you receive an opt out letter and do not want to participate in the program, there will be instruction on the letter on how to opt-out.

If you are already with a third-party supplier, you need to drop with your current supplier before you can join the aggregation program. Duke needs to see a pending drop from your current supplier before they will accept an enrollment from the aggregation supplier. You can call your current supplier (their information is usually on Page 3 or 4 of the Duke bill in the right column) or Duke to drop from your current supplier. Make sure you understand if you have any termination fees before dropping from your current supplier.
