Who is eligible to participate in de-regulation?
Any residential, commercial or industrial customer in Maryland
or Virginia can now chose their energy supplier.
Why choose NES?
By choosing NES, you are protecting yourself by locking in a
twelve-month fixed price for your natural gas supply. This will
protect you from the price increases that utility customers typically
experience. You are also choosing a local company known for its
superior customer service, integrity and reliability. NES buys
and sells natural gas to thousands of customers just like you.
We have the expertise to purchase your natural gas supply at
very low rates and pass the savings on to you.
How can NES reduce
my natural gas bill?
The price you pay to your local utility can change on a monthly
basis. If you are a typical natural gas consumer you use 80%
of your gas from December through March. That’s when
historically prices are at their highest. The colder the winter
the higher the price climbs. In a normal winter the price you
pay to your utility increases as the cost of their gas increases.
With NES you can lock in your winter price when prices are
low, thereby removing you from the risk of prices increasing
when you use most of your gas. It is like an insurance policy
against prices going up.
Will I receive two bills -- a bill
from my utility and a bill from NES?
No! The great news is that you will still receive the same
bill from your utility. Every utility bill is broken down into
two parts. Part one is for the service cost of providing you
the pipes to bring the gas to your home or place of business.
The second part is the actual cost of the gas commodity. No
matter who you buy gas from, a marketer or the utility, the
cost of the pipes is the same. Your only difference will be
the cost of the actual gas, and that is where you save money.
What
do I watch out for?
Watch out for marketers who are offering to sell you what is
called wet gas or citygate gas. They are trying to confuse
you. For instance, if a marketer tells you his cost of gas
is $.047 cents a therm for wet gas or citygate gas, that is
not the price you will see on your bill. They jack up the price
another 7 to 10 percent, and also add a balancing charge on
top of it. Always make sure that you are getting a burnetip
price with balancing fees attached. That way you will be able
to compare apples to apples. NES’s price is always the
price you see on your bill, it’s a burnertip price.
