Those residents eligible for Ross Township’s community natural gas aggregation program will be receiving opt out letters in the mail soon. As a reminder, residents voted in favor of government aggregation, a program authorizing local officials to purchase natural gas from a retail natural gas supplier certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). Only those currently on Duke Energy’s default supply are eligible. If you are already with a third party supplier or have put your name on PUCO’s “Do Not Aggregate” list you will not receive a letter.  

The opt out period ends 21 days after the date on the letter. 

Although anyone that does not receive an opt-out letter is able to opt-in to the aggregation program, AEP Energy can not accept those Opt-In enrollments until after Monday September 16, 2024.

Community members with questions regarding the natural gas aggregation program should contact AEP Energy toll free at 1-888-659-3888 Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. & Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET.
