New Natural Gas Aggregation Begins November 2024

The City of Orrville (Enbridge Energy customers only) is once again providing its residents with the opportunity to participate with other municipalities in a natural gas governmental aggregation program with IGS (Interstate Gas Supply, Inc.) as the supplier of gas.

Under governmental aggregation, the City of Orrville acts on behalf of natural gas consumers in the community to negotiate a gas supply contract with eligible suppliers. Both the City of Orrville and eligible retail gas suppliers have to be certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Orrville’s City Council passed an ordinance adopting this program and Orrville voters approved the implementations of the program. This period of the aggregation program for Orrville will begin with the November 2024 billing period and end with the October 2026 billing period.

If you are currently enrolled in the City of Orrville Natural Gas Aggregation Program, you will automatically be enrolled into the new program unless you choose to “opt out” - that is to not participate. There is no cost for enrollment. If you are currently enrolled with the City of Orrville Aggregation Program and want to be excluded, you must contact IGS at 1-877-353-0162.

If you are not currently enrolled and would like to be included in the program, please call IGS at 1-877-353-0162 to obtain the eligibility requirements and enrollment procedures.

Starting with the November 2024 billing cycle, the new rate will be $4.12 per MCF, plus applicable taxes and Enbridge charges. This rate will remain fixed at $4.12 per MCF through the October 2026 billing period.

Under this aggregation, Enbridge will continue to maintain the pipeline system that delivers the natural gas. You will continue to receive a single bill from Enbridge for natural gas service, and it will include the gas supply charge from IGS and sales tax. Customers continue to contact Enbridge regarding loss of gas service, odor of gas, or any other concerns or issues having to do with your local service. Budget billing and automatic billing options will continue to be available through Enbridge.

If you have any questions please call IGS at 1-877-353-0162, weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For general information on natural gas deregulation in Ohio, you can visit the websites for the Ohio Consumer’s Counsel (www.pickocc.org) or the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (www.puco.ohio.gov).
