Choice Gas Program Information

There are potential risks and rewards associated with any gas pricing option a customer selects. Past performance of Choice Gas Program selections does not guarantee future performance. 

Use the interactive tool below to compare the costs Choice Gas customers paid for their commodity during past program years compared to what those same customers would have paid if they had chosen the Gas Cost Adjustment rate (GCA rate or Regulated Rate).* Select options to filter the graph by program year, customer type, city/town, rate type, and selection type (active selection or rollover).

The graph above provides an interactive visualization of Choice Gas Program results from the 2017-2018 through 2023-2024 program years. The rates in the columns compare the average commodity rate per therm that Choice Gas customers paid to the average GCA rate. The numbers to the right of the graph display the total amount Choice Gas customers paid and what those same customers would have paid if they had been on the GCA rate.

Black Hills Wyoming Gas has requested confidential treatment of the results by individual Supplier; therefore, the graph presently shows average results from multiple Choice Gas gas Suppliers. Pricing will vary by Supplier, rate type, usage, and customer location. 

Customers who do not make a selection during the enrollment period will automatically roll over with the same Supplier and rate type, with a new rate determined later by the Supplier. The data show that the automatic rollover rate is usually higher than the rate for an active selection for the same rate type from the same Supplier. 

*The Commission authorized the February Extreme Weather (FEW) rate to recover gas costs associated with severe winter weather in February 2021. Customers who were on the GCA rate on February 28, 2021, paid the FEW rate from September 2021 until May 2024.
