Natural Gas: The Choice is Yours

In Michigan, you have the choice of who supplies your natural gas. Confirm your natural gas provider by looking at your bill:

If your bill shows a “Gas Cost Recovery” charge, we are your current natural gas supplier.
If your bill shows a “Supplier Charge,” you have chosen to receive your natural gas from an Alternative Gas Supplier.

Regardless of who supplies your gas, we read the meter and process your bills, maintain and fix gas lines and respond to emergencies.

The Benefits of Being a Consumers Energy Customer

Our natural gas prices are the lowest they’ve been in a decade.
We charge you only what we pay for natural gas. We don't make any profit from the sale of the gas.
We buy most of the natural gas that you will need for the upcoming winter during the summer. This is because prices are generally lower. We then store it until you need it.
