Historical Choice Gas Program Results
There are risks and benefits associated with any gas supply option a customer selects. Past performance of Choice Gas Program selections does not guarantee future performance.
Use the interactive tool below to compare the amounts Choice Gas customers paid for their commodity during past program years to what those same customers would have paid if they had chosen the Gas Cost Adjustment rate (GCA rate or Regulated Rate).* Select options from the tan-shaded sections to filter the results by program year (2017 through present), customer type (residential or commercial), city or town (Arapahoe through Wright), rate type (fixed monthly bill, fixed rate per therm, index rate, and hybrid rate types), and selection type (active selection or rollover).
The graph above provides an interactive visualization of Choice Gas Program results from the 2017-2018 program year through present. The rates above the columns compare the average commodity rate per therm that Choice Gas customers paid and the average GCA rate. The numbers below the graph display the total amount Choice Gas customers paid to their Suppliers for the commodity and the amount those same customers would have paid if they had been on the GCA rate.
Black Hills Wyoming Gas requested confidential treatment of the results by individual Supplier; therefore, the graph presently shows results by “Supplier A,” Supplier B,” etc. 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 customers on an automatic rollover rate typically paid more for their commodity than customers who made an active selection paid for their commodity.
*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.
