City Hall Updates Residents About Natural Gas Bills

Natural gas bills for Brecksville residents in April should have a rate no higher than $4.03.

And the bills in May shouldn’t be any higher than $4.57.

“Yes, that is a significant increase,” according to a statement released by the city on Thursday, “but do not reach for the panic button.”

Rates are still lower than 2009, according to the release.

If residents use any supplier other than Dominion East Ohio or NOPEC, they are encouraged to call and cancel.

“Check if your plan has an early termination fee. If it does, wait until it expires before cancelling,” according to the statement.

If the letters SSO, SCO or MVR are on your bill call NOPEC at 888-848-7914 and ask for their “variable rate.”

Some people are still on NOPEC’s higher fixed rate. If your NOPEC rate is higher than $4.03 in April call and ask to be switched to the variable rate.
