Natural Gas and Electric Renewal Update

Natural Gas - Expires October 2025:

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.

Electric - Expires November 2025:

The City has signed an agreement with Dynegy to remain the electric aggregation supplier starting with the December 2025 bill and expiring on the December 2026 bill.

The new rate will be 9.25¢ per kWh. This rate may seem high compared to current aggregation rates, but Duke’s current price to compare is 10.43¢ per kWh.

Opt out letters to those currently on the program or those currently with Duke’s default supply will be mailed in September. We’ll update the table above as we get closer

Already with a Third-Party Supplier (Duke Customers)?

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.

Some suppliers let you enroll yourself online and you’ll see the “Click Here” link in the table above if the supplier has the option. If they don’t have an online enrollment option, we have the suppliers phone number listed.

Misleading Sales Tactics?

Door-to-door solicitors are everywhere and the phone calls to buy energy seem to never end. Don’t be fooled by these offers. The supplier of the aggregation will never come to your door! Some salespeople may display a solicitor’s permit or official looking badge. THE PERMIT IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT BY THE COMMUNITY, and the badge may be misleading. They may claim they work with the utility or XYZ Energy company and offer rates far below anything you presently are receiving. Please do not show them your energy bill.  Also, beware of robo-calls and phone solicitors claiming that “your utility account has been flagged for review.” This could also a scam by an unethical broker or supplier designed to mislead you.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to close the door on the solicitor and call your local officials.
