The Customer Choice program offers you the option to purchase the natural gas you use from a supplier other than Columbia Gas. If you choose to purchase your gas from a different supplier, we will continue to
deliver the same reliable service, read your meter, perform safety checks and respond to emergencies.
The prices charged by suppliers are set by a competitive market, meaning there is no guarantee that you’ll save money, but they may offer special pricing and incentives. If you’d like to enroll, shop around and make your Choice.
How to enroll in CHOICE®
- Review our list of current suppliers below.
- Evaluate the offer and compare prices. The Virginia State Corporation Commission lists full current approved suppliers. Suppliers offer different risks and rewards, such as fixed and variable rates, flat discounts and up-front incentives. Our CHOICE calculator can help you evaluate your long-term bill amounts.
- Consider the contract terms. Since many suppliers require you to agree to contract terms, you’ll want to know contract length and if you can cancel.
- Make your CHOICE® by contacting the supplier. If you choose not to participate, your supplier will not change and there is no change in your bill.
