Until recently you probably bought natural gas from your local utility company and you paid the price they charged. If you did not like the price you received you had only two choices, consume less gas or install a costly new heating system with an alternative energy source like oil or propane.
Today the environment is much different. You are no longer required to buy natural gas from your local utility provider – you can buy your natural gas from a choice supplier like Core Energy. Your local utility company will continue to maintain their local distribution system, read your meter, and service your account. This provides for increased competition and more choices for consumers. Core Energy is able to offer pricing options different than those offered by your local utility company; and because our overhead is much lower, our prices are more competitive!
Typically, natural gas consumers have a couple of basic questions as the winter approaches: How much will natural gas cost, and will there be enough available this winter heating season? The answers to these questions depend on ever-changing conditions in the national and local market place for natural gas.
The Market Place:
Natural gas is injected into pipelines every day and transported to millions of consumers all over the country. Much of it travels long distances from production areas to population centers through interstate pipelines owned and operated by pipeline companies. Natural gas is actually delivered to residential customers, and many other categories of end-use consumers, through the complex network of pipes owned and operated by local distribution companies. The local Utility receives supplies into their systems from the pipelines at locations known as city gates.
How Customer Choice can Help:
Prior to restructuring at the State level residential and commercial customers could only buy gas from the local distribution company. Now residential and commercial customers can buy gas supplies from companies just like Core Energy. Through “Energy Choice Programs” it is possible for residential customers to choose a separate natural gas supplier. The benefit to the business owner or homeowner of buying gas from Core Energy rather than buying from the utility which can change rates, is to be able to purchase gas at a fixed price and not be exposed to extreme price spikes. Your utility will still be there if you need them and you’ll still receive only one invoice from the utility with the Core Energy price included as the supplier price.
How Core Energy Can Help:
Where prices go is anybody’s guess. Unfortunately, we can’t predict the weather or where gas prices are heading. One thing is for certain with Natural Gas, it will always be a volatile commodity. Therefore, we are offering a Fixed Price product that will give you guaranteed protection against price spikes in the winter when you need it the most and a competitive summer pricing when your gas consumption is at its lowest.
