Natural Gas
Competitive Gas MarketSince 1988, many gas customers have been able to buy natural gas from competitive energy suppliers. These suppliers, or marketers, may or may not be operating in your service territory today. Energy industry deregulation has made it possible for businesses to purchase natural gas on the open market, at the lowest price available, and sell it to customers in designated areas.
Can I choose my natural gas supplier?
Yes! As a result of the gas industry restructuring, customers now have a choice of natural gas supply. The new market structure allows you to choose the services you need and pay for only what you use. Now customers can purchase natural gas from the supplier or marketer of your choice. Metro Resources, LLC is one of those choices.
The deregulation of supply of both electricity and natural gas means energy prices are set at market rates for consumers. The ultimate goal is to provide natural gas customers with a greater competitive gas marketplace.
Metro Resources, LLC will provide you the guidance and leadership to make the most effective decision in this changing market. Please call us for the latest information regarding your natural gas supply options.
What is a Gas Service Provider (GSP)?
Metro Resources, LLC is an independent Gas Service Provider. The GSP has the full responsibility of managing the gas supply and its daily delivery into the utilities transportation/distribution system for all its customers. Metro Resources, LLC is a fully approved GSP for customers in your area.
Can a GSP match or beat the Gas Utility price?
GSPs can offer a number of pricing plans based on the needs of the customer.
The utility's price for gas changes each month to match the market price than the utility pays for the gas. The utility does not make a profit on the sale of natural gas to its customers. The utility makes its profit from delivering gas through its system as well as from other sources, but not from the sale of natural gas. The utility by law must charge the customer the monthly tarrif cost of natural gas.
GSPs purchase natural gas form a number of different services and through a variety of contractual arrangements, all of which are priced differently than the utility's gas price. GSPs can offer a guaranteed fixed price over a period of time, whereas, the utility must charge the monthly tarrif price which matches that months cost of gas.
Will a GSP be as reliable as the Utility?
Yes. The natural gas is transported to your meter through the utilities' transportation and distribution system. You will still receive a bill from your utility for providing the transportation of natural gas to your meter. The quality of the natural gas provided to you is the same high quality gas you would otherwise receive.
Who do I call in case of an emergency?
You should continue to call the utility for your service and energy needs. The utility will continue to respond to your safety calls, read your meter, offer appliance services and maintain the gas delivery system leading to you meter location. Remember the utility is still being compensated for using their transportation/delivery system. The GSP is providing them the natural gas for delivery to your location.
