What is the purpose of the program?
Township residents as a group receive a fixed rate for natural gas that is usually substantially lower than the rate they would be charged by the gas company as individuals.

IGS Energy won a competitive proposal process and will remain our program’s supplier through September 2026. IGS Energy is certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, and currently supplies customers and governmental aggregation programs across Ohio.

Who is Enbridge Gas Ohio?
Enbridge Gas Ohio (Enbridge) is the local natural gas utility company.  They purchased the utility company Dominion Energy Ohio, which residents would have been familiar with.  Enbridge is the company responsible for the natural gas delivery system and activities such as reading meters and billing customers

What are Governmental Natural Gas Aggregation Programs?
Governmental Aggregations allow an entire community, or groups of communities, to join together to form one large buying group. Once voters authorize an aggregation, elected officials are then permitted to shop for natural gas on behalf of their residents and small businesses.

What are the benefits of Gas Aggregation?
As a large buying group, residents participating in an Aggregation have more buying power.  The aggregation is in a better position to negotiate favorable pricing and supply terms than what could ordinarily be achieved by any one individual resident.
