If you’re a business owner in Ohio that relies on natural gas to heat your property, you know how sudden price fluctuations can impact your overhead costs. The fact is that natural gas pricing is unpredictable and, while there are other factors that affect your utility bills, any additional control you can have over the situation is a benefit. It’s for this reason that Ohio deregulated its energy market — now, businesses have more choice when it comes to how and from whom their utility company buys natural gas.

Shipley Energy works with several utility companies to offer commercial natural gas for Ohio businesses. If you’re a Dominion Energy,  Duke Energy, or Columbia Gas of Ohio customer, keep reading to learn how you can save.

Natural Gas for Your Business

What Is Energy Deregulation?

Before energy deregulation in Ohio, the rate your business paid per unit for natural gas depended on market pricing. Deregulation opened up the market to competition by increasing the number of natural gas suppliers, allowing you to choose where you get your energy from. With more market competition and customer choice, your company has a greater opportunity to get better rates and save money on energy costs.

In Ohio’s deregulated market, utility companies continue to provide delivery service and maintain the grid while your supplier sets the rate your company is charged for natural gas use.

By choosing Shipley Energy as your supplier, we can select more flexible pricing plans and affordable Ohio commercial natural gas rates for long-term energy savings.

Why Choose Natural Gas for Your Ohio Business?

There are many reasons to consider switching from heating oil or propane to natural gas for your Ohio business. When you choose natural gas, you’ll benefit from:

  • Cost savings: Natural gas is the most effective type of fuel to heat your facility. Because it is such an abundant resource in the United States, natural gas has a lower cost per unit than other fossil fuels.
  • Reliable supply: Thanks to new drilling technology, natural gas can be more economically extracted from numerous stateside locations. As a result, domestic natural gas reserves are expected to meet fuel needs for at least the next 100 years.
  • Clean energy: Natural gas is clean-burning and requires less energy to transport than carbon-heavy fuels like coal. Choosing natural gas signals to your customers that you are committed to making environmentally friendly choices.

At Shipley Energy, we’re here to help you make the switch and convert your facility to a more affordable, dependable natural gas supply.

What Does a Natural Gas Supplier Do?

A supplier buys natural gas in bulk and sells it to a utility company. Unless you specify a supplier, utility companies are required to pay the market price for natural gas, and they pass that rate on to their customers. By choosing a supplier, you can avoid the uncertainty of paying the market rate and enjoy various convenient pricing plans.

Choosing a supplier doesn’t mean leaving your utility company or taking any business away from them. You’ll still deal with them directly for any billing or service issues. However, you will see a line on your bill that specifies that you’ve chosen Shipley Energy as your supplier and breaks down the new rate you’re paying.

What to Consider When Choosing a Natural Gas Supplier

Whether you’re switching to natural gas for the first time or looking for a new supplier, it’s crucial to find an efficient, reliable fuel source. The supplier you choose should be experienced and have a proven track record for high-quality products and services.

As you search for a supplier in Ohio, you should look for a company that:

  • Is licensed in Ohio and services your area.
  • Provides competitive commercial natural gas prices in Ohio.
  • Offers all the options your business needs to meet energy demands.
  • Has positive service ratings and customer reviews.

When you research Shipley Energy, you’ll quickly discover that we have all that to offer and more. We analyze your company’s energy needs to create a customized plan that meets your goals. When you choose us as your supplier, we make it easy and cost-effective to get your business a reliable natural gas supply.

Our Pricing Plans

At Shipley Energy, we provide flexible payment solutions to accommodate your energy and budget requirements. You have the option to select a fixed-rate plan or a variable-rate plan.

A fixed-rate natural gas pricing plan has several benefits:

  • You’ll avoid the uncertainty of the market, which typically drives up prices during periods of high demand — typically, in cold temperatures when you need heat the most.
  • You’ll enjoy more predictable pricing, which makes it easier to develop a budget and plan for other expenses.
  • You’ll potentially lower your energy costs over the long-term.

A variable-rate plan allows you to take advantage of dropping market prices. When you choose variable pricing, we estimate your fuel usage and bill you equal monthly installments with our Budget Payment Plan.

Natural gas can’t be stored on site for future use, so the only way to benefit from wholesale pricing is to work with a supplier like Shipley Energy. Check our Ohio commercial natural gas rates by contacting us today.
