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 with AEP Energy 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.
