1. When comparing Equitable Gas' price, ask the Supplier to give you the price in dollars per Mcf (thousand cubic feet of gas). Write it in the space marked "Commodity."
2. Ask the Supplier if the price includes Equitable Gas' charges. If it does, skip Step 3 and compare the Supplier's price directly to Equitable Gas' Total Cost Per Mcf.
3. Add Equitable's Gas Cost Adjustment, Balancing Charge, and Distribution Charges to find your total per Mcf.
4. Compare the prices between Equitable Gas and the Suppliers-consider any incentives or bonus programs offered by the Supplier. Note: Equitable Gas' rate can change quarterly (January 1, April 1, June 1 and October 1) or without notice.
   
   

Use this calculation for the following situations:

• You presently purchase your gas commodity from Equitable Gas and are evaluating a Supplier's offer.
• If the Supplier is offering a contract greater than one year, subtract the Gas Cost Adjustment from the total cost per Mcf for additional years beyond the first year.

Prices Effective: April 1, 2010

Notes:

• A Monthly Service Charge of $13.25 is added to your bill whether you choose a Supplier or continue to have Equitable Gas purchase and deliver your natural gas.
• The Commodity, above and as shown on your bill, is indicated as Supply Charge in the Company's tariff.
• The Balancing Charge will apply regardless of who supplies your gas, and is part of Equitable's Supply Charge.  If your gas provider is not Equitable Gas Company, the Balancing Charge will be added to your Distribution Charge.
• The Gas Cost Adjustment is applied to all Equitable Gas customers and is added to or subtracted from each Mcf of natural gas. If you choose a Supplier, this adjustment will remain in effect for the first year of your Supplier contract.
