Ohio businesses can save 20-40% on natural gas by choosing an alternative supplier through the state's deregulated market. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio oversees supplier choice programs, allowing commercial customers to select from licensed suppliers while their local utility continues to deliver gas.

Natural Gas Deregulation in Ohio

Ohio has offered natural gas supplier choice since 1997. The state's competitive market allows commercial and industrial customers to choose their natural gas supplier while their local utility handles delivery, billing, and emergency services.
