Natural Gas, Electricity Information Meeting Slated in Brecksville

Each year, the city of Brecksville hosts an informational meeting to keep residents in the loop about natural gas and electricity prices.

Looking for the lowest rates for the upcoming heating season?

Might not be a bad idea to attend this year’s meeting.

The informational meeting is slated to take place at the Human Services Center at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18.

“It is very important to bring your most recent Dominion East Ohio Gas bill and your most recent Illuminating Company bill with you,” according to a news release. “That way we can provide one-on-one advice.”

The city says that the gas rate on residents’ August Dominion bill should have been no higher than $4.30 and your September bill should be no higher than $4.05.

“If it is you need to attend the meeting,’ according to the release.

The city is also recommending that residents should avoid going with a fixed rate this winter. Instead, NOPEC’s variable rate is encouraged.

The NOPEC number is 888-848-7914.

“If you receive a letter from your current gas supplier about future service read it carefully,” according to the release. “There is a very real possibility the offer is too high.”
