IGS ENERGY PARTNERSHIP

By Dan McVey, Vice President & Chief Operating Officer — Gas Operations

The current natural gas market has become somewhat volatile because of the current geopolitical situation and supply-demand imbalances in the United States. Prices could rise this winter if temperatures are below normal and storage inventories become low.

The Energy Cooperative is actively refilling our storage inventories and will be ready to meet winter demand. While our storage acts as a hedge against winter price volatility, it is only a partial hedge. Members who want more price security have another option for their gas supply.

Member Select Program

Working in conjunction with IGS Energy (IGS), we designed a Member Select Program, to protect you from the price volatility of the natural gas market by locking in a fixed rate with IGS. The Energy Cooperative partnered with IGS to offer members a fixed-price, lower-carbon option for natural gas supply while maintaining the high level of service and reliability you have come to expect from us.

About IGS Energy

Based in central Ohio, IGS Energy has 30-plus years of experience supplying natural gas to more than one million customers across the United States. While not always a lower rate, it gives you secure pricing with no surprises. With this product, you can also help counteract carbon emissions from your home’s natural gas use. Based on your use, IGS invests in certified projects that reduce carbon from the atmosphere, such as reforestation or renewable energy sources like wind farms.

How It Works

You can enroll in The Energy Cooperative’s Member Select Program now, and you will lock in your natural gas rate for $0.629 per ccf through the June 2026 billing cycle.

The Energy Cooperative members must be in good standing and have been members for at least twelve months to qualify for the Member Select Program.

You can enroll with IGS Energy by calling 877-786-4447. The Energy Cooperative will continue to deliver your gas, respond to service needs, read your meter, and send your monthly invoice.
