The price you will be billed for your natural gas supply is referred to as the Standard Choice Offer (SCO) price. This SCO price is charged to all SCO customers who, like you, have not selected his or her own alternative natural gas supplier through your utility’s natural gas Choice program. Please note that the SCO price you pay will be the same that every SCO customer for your utility pays during that same month.
The SCO price is variable, meaning it will change from month to month based on changes in the natural gas pricing market. The SCO price reflects the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) monthly settlement price for natural gas plus a retail price adjustment.
