Natural Gas Deregulation in Ohio

Deregulation in Ohio means you have a choice of who supplies natural gas to your home or business.

Thanks to deregulation, people are privy to an open energy market. This means suppliers have to compete for your business. In turn, this leads to more perks like excellent contract terms, reward programs, and lower prices.

You still have a local natural gas utility. It’s their responsibility to manage and to maintain the pipes in your area. This means if there’s ever a leak or emergency, you’d call them – not your supplier.

Now natural gas suppliers can partner with your local utility company to offer predetermined, fixed rates for your home or business.

History of Deregulation in Ohio

In 1992, the Federal Energy Regulatory commission (FERC) enacted Order No. 636. This was created to stimulate competition in the natural gas market on a national level. It also cut out shortages that affected parts of the country in the past.

Before the groundbreaking 1992 FERC order, pipeline companies sold natural gas bundled with pipeline transport costs to local utility companies known as local distribution companies, or LDCs.

Now pipeline companies must move gas without this added transport cost. This means suppliers could compete to buy gas throughout the nation.

Ohio passed the Natural Gas Alternative Regulation law in 1996. This law put customer choice as an official State policy goal. By 1997, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) set regulations that encouraged major pipeline companies to stop bundling their sales within the state.

By 2001, there were many reforms to the market with the House Bill 9 amendment being the biggest. This changed many how local governments compete and buy natural gas. More importantly, it required retail suppliers to have certification through PUCO.

Who Can Buy Deregulated Natural Gas Services?

Residents and business owners have ample choice for their natural gas supply. In 2005 and 2008, Ohioans voted for local aggregation programs for towns and municipalities. It put control into the local government’s hands to buy natural gas on behalf of residents. It also gave people the opportunity to opt out. You’re not required by law to buy directly from your local energy provider. This means you can take advantage of a deregulated market. Shop for predetermined, exclusive packages via our comparison tool. Many Ohioans choose to shop for their natural gas supplier. Doing so means they will often pay less as third-party alternatives can offer better rates. If you can opt out of your local, PUCO-regulated utility rate, you have the option to shop for a third-party supplier. With either option, your local utility company will still deliver natural gas to your home. Not everyone in Ohio has access to a deregulated energy market. To see if you qualify, enter your zip code and select ‘gas’ via our comparison tool.

Who Provides Natural Gas in Ohio?

Currently, there are 24 natural gas LDCs in Ohio. These four are the largest natural gas utilities in the state for both businesses and residences:

  • Columbia Gas of Ohio
  • Dominion East Ohio
  • Duke Energy
  • Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio.

The LCD in your area is responsible for maintaining and managing the natural gas distribution in your area. If there’s any cause for concern, you should contact them, not your supplier.
