How a Cleveland gas bill splits: Dominion delivery vs supplier supply

Dominion handles delivery, meter, emergency response. CRES supplier handles supply rate. Single bill from Dominion covers both.

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.

Common questions

Quick answers from the editorial desk

How do I tell Dominion from a supplier on my bill?
Dominion appears on the bill envelope as the utility. Inside the bill, the delivery line is Dominion. The supply line is either Dominion (default) or your CRES supplier or NOPEC aggregation.
Is NOPEC aggregation worth it?
For most Cleveland metro households, yes. NOPEC typically beats Dominion default by 8 to 14 percent on supply. Direct supplier choice can sometimes do better by 2 to 6 percent if you actively shop. Either way, aggregation is better than staying on Dominion default.
Can I opt out of NOPEC after enrolling?
Yes at any time with no penalty. Send a written opt-out notice or call NOPEC directly. The opt-out takes effect at the next meter read.
Does Dominion still respond to gas leaks if I am with a supplier?
Yes. Dominion handles all delivery and emergency response regardless of who supplies your gas. Call the Dominion 24-hour emergency line for any suspected leak; the response is free and identical for all customers.
