Since January
2000, all natural gas customers in New Jersey have been able
to choose an alternate supplier other than their current utility.
You are not required to choose but have the option to do so
if you desire.
Does Choice Mean Savings?
By choosing an alternative fuel provider,
customer bills may or may not be reduced for cost of natural
gas charges and applicable taxes. However, the resulting decrease
in South Jersey Gas' revenues are offset by a corresponding
decrease in natural gas costs and taxes under a BPU-approved
adjustment clause. While customer participation in the program
reduces South Jersey Gas' revenues, it does not affect its
net income, financial condition or profit margins.
South Jersey Gas encourages customers to explore
the savings possibilities offered by deregulation but urges
customers to use caution when selecting a marketer since their
savings offers, contracts, terms and conditions may vary significantly.
Customers should remember that just because they're using a
marketer the savings are not always guaranteed. Each natural
gas utility customer should carefully consider the details
before entering into any agreement and read the fine print
of the agreement before signing any contract.
