My Bill FAQs

Your gas service will be billed under a variable plan on a month-to-month basis. You may switch to another price plan for which you qualify at no additional charge.
Guaranteed Bill
You will be protected from fluctuations in both weather and market prices for a year. Rather than paying a “rate” or “price per therm,” you will be billed a flat amount for each standard service period that begins during the term of your one-year agreement, and GNG will prorate the amount for periods shorter or longer than a standard service period of 27-33 days. This amount, the Guaranteed Bill Charge, is based on historical gas usage at the premises and expected natural gas prices.
Fixed Price Plan
Gas service is billed at a fixed price per therm. Although GNG's currently available fixed prices may change at any time, the price used to calculate your gas charge for the full length of the plan will be GNG's price in effect at the time you select the plan. Your fixed price will remain in effect for each service period that begins during the term of your agreement.
Pre-pay Plan
Gas service is billed as estimated gas charges in advance of the actual gas usage. Estimated gas charges are calculated by multiplying the current variable Pre-Pay plan price per therm in effect at the time of the estimate by the expected usage. Once your actual charges and the variable price for the billing period are available, they are trued up with the previous estimate.
