NaturalGasMattersIDEAS AND INSIGHTS FROM YOUR NATURAL GAS SERVICE PROVIDER

Energy prices can be unpredictable, but yours don’t have to be. As anOklahoma Natural Gas customer, you can know exactly how much you will payfor each Dekatherm of natural gas you consume over a 12-month period.Simply enroll in the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan.

The price you pay for the natural gas you use each month is Oklahoma NaturalGas’ average cost for the gas we’ve purchased under a variety of contracts. Thecost-of-gas portion of your bill varies each month based on how much you useand what we paid for that supply.

We’ve already bought a portion of our winter natural gas supply at fixed prices, so we know its cost. We’re making that natural gas available to those who wish to enroll in the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan at $3.105 per Dekatherm for the 12-month period beginning November 1, 2016. The price only applies to the cost of the natural gas itself. Regular service and delivery chargesapply, and your bill will still vary according to the amount of natural gas you use.

If you enroll in the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan, you could pay more or less than customers who do not enroll in the plan. The plan does not guaranteesavings; it is intended to protect customers from the occasional swings innatural gas prices.
