What is the Columbia Gas Standard Choice Offer (SCO)?

The Standard Choice Offer (SCO) is a PUCO-approved default rate for the natural gas supply that you can select if you don't want to shop for retail supplier. Though how rates are determined might seem confusing, the process helps keeps prices low.

Each April, Columbia Gas sets a retail price adjustment in cents per ccf after an auction to choose SCO suppliers. Suppliers that place the lowest bids are selected to provide the natural gas to SCO customers.

The, each month, Columbia Gas determines rates by adding the NYMEX month-end natural gas settlement price to the retail price adjustment.

This price is then passed directly to SCO customers without mark up. By law, Columbia Gas of Ohio is prohibited from profiting on the SCO.

As a result, the SCO gas supply price varies from month-to-month. Sometimes it's low, sometimes it's high. And though the SCO suppliers are also competitive retail suppliers, they are bound by law to charge the SCO rate to all of Columbia Gas's SCO customers.
