Dominion Energy Ohio delivers natural gas to Cleveland and northeast Ohio. Suppliers compete on the supply line through the PUCO supplier-choice program. The split: Dominion handles pipes, meters, and emergency response; competitive suppliers sell the molecules. NOPEC (Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council) runs the largest opt-out aggregation in the Cleveland metro. Members get a single bundled rate negotiated by NOPEC. Switching to a supplier or joining aggregation typically saves 12 to 22 percent on the supply portion.
Dominion Energy Ohio territory
Dominion Energy Ohio serves Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, and surrounding counties in northeast Ohio. The delivery infrastructure (pipes, meters, valves) is owned and operated by Dominion regardless of who supplies the gas.
Cleveland metro residents have access to PUCO-certified competitive gas suppliers and to NOPEC aggregation. The choice between supplier and aggregation depends on rate, contract term, and household preference.
NOPEC opt-out aggregation
NOPEC enrolls residents of participating municipalities automatically into a bundled gas (and electric) supply contract. The aggregation negotiates rates with suppliers on behalf of thousands of households at once.
Residents have 21 days to opt out at enrollment time and can opt out at any time after that with no penalty. NOPEC pricing typically beats Dominion default service by 8 to 14 percent across the contract term.
Aggregation vs direct supplier choice
NOPEC works well for households who do not want to actively shop. The aggregation handles the supplier selection and re-shopping at contract end.
Direct supplier choice works better for households who can shop the market every 12 to 24 months. Direct locks can sometimes beat NOPEC pricing by 2 to 6 percent when shopped at optimal lock windows.
