About Natural Gas Choice Programs

Integrys Energy Services provides natural gas to thousands of retail commercial, industrial, and small businesses through Energy Choice programs across the United States and Canada.

When customers buy gas directly from their local utility, that purchase is generally called a "bundled service." The cost of gas and transporting supplies are combined into one retail price.

Choice programs "unbundle" the traditional utility service, allowing customers to buy natural gas from approved suppliers while still relying on their local utility to deliver the supply to their physical locations. Typically, a customer works with a third-party energy marketer, like Integrys Energy Services, who contracts to provide a certain quantity of gas for delivery over a certain period of time. In general terms your marketer / supplier will -

  • Purchase gas on your behalf
  • Arrange transportation, storage (where applicable) and delivery
  • Assist with load balancing during usage peaks and valleys and avoid penalties by trading on the spot market
  • Audit and reconcile your natural gas bills and review your contracts with utilities

Choice programs bring price and service competition into the market, providing customers like yourself an opportunity to proactively manage and negotiate your supply needs.
