Turtlecreek Township Natural Gas Aggregation Program sets a secure price of $0.6499 per Ccf for your natural gas supply charges.

AEP Energy is pleased to announce that Turtlecreek Township is providing its residents and small businesses with an opportunity to fix their natural gas supply rate compared to the local utility monthly variable rate. On November 6, 2018, Turtlecreek Township voters authorized by majority vote the creation of a Natural Gas Aggregation Program to seek secure natural gas rates for eligible residents and small businesses and the Township approved a Plan of Operation and Governance as prescribed by Section 4929.29 of the Ohio Revised Code. Under this arrangement AEP Energy has been selected as Turtlecreek Township’s preferred natural gas supply provider. This special offer is exclusive for eligible residents and small businesses of the Township because, through the power of volume buying, AEP Energy is able to secure natural gas supply at competitive rates. AEP Energy is an Ohio-based company.

THE TOWNSHIP NATURAL GAS AGGREGATION PROGRAM IS A SMART CHOICE:

Receive Protection with a Secure Price. Through the Township Natural Gas Aggregation Program, eligible residents and small businesses will receive the secure rate of $0.6499 per Ccf beginning with your next available meter read date and continuing until your October 20261 meter read date.

The current natural gas aggregation rate with AEP Energy of $0.5024 per ccf (was $0.5894 per ccf prior to June 2025 when Duke moved the storage balancing to the distribution portion of the bill) expires on the October 2025 bill.

The new natural aggregation rate with AEP Energy starts with the November 2025 bill and ending on the October 2026 bill will be $0.6499 per ccf.

Between August 2024 and July 2025, Duke’s Gas Cost Recovery rate averaged $0.748 per ccf. The new $0.6499 per ccf aggregation rate gives participants protection against Duke’s variable rate this winter.

There is no termination fee to enter or leave the program at any time.

Opt out letters will be mailed to eligible accounts in late August.

Natural Gas Aggregation Performance Information

As the weather turns colder and residents start to get their energy bills, we wanted to touch base on a few things.

Natural Gas Aggregation Performance 

We are seeing an excellent start to the aggregation vs. Duke’s rates.  Though you’ll receive a full detail performance report in the next couple months, here is how the first 3 months of the program look depending on what County Sales Tax rate your community has.

*Duke published their GCR for January on 12/13.

Higher Natural Gas Bills

We are starting to get a lot of calls from residents about their higher bills and they are concerned it’s the aggregation rate. In almost every case it is because of a significant jump in your natural gas usage from November to December. We’ll expect this to increase even more from December to January due to cold weather in the forecast and getting deeper into winter.

Please take a look at your change in natural gas usage from month to month and how that may relate to your higher bills. Take a look at what your gas usage was like last year compared to this year. Your Duke Energy bill has a natural gas chart to make it easy to see. 

As always, feel free to call Energy Alliance at 513-794-5555 if you have any questions.
