Your gas bill, simplified
The natural gas commodity itself, priced per therm.
Pipelines, meter reading, billing services, and emergency response.
Supply vs. delivery
Same pipes. Same utility. A choice in supply.
Your gas bill has two main parts. Delivery — the physical system that brings gas to you — always remains with your local utility. For eligible customers, the supply portion can come from a registered Core Transport Agent instead.
- No new equipment or meter changes
- SoCalGas still handles emergencies and safety
- Offers vary — some may cost more than the utility rate
- Nothing changes without your explicit authorization
Three steps
A clear, no-pressure process
- 01
Check eligibility
Tell us your ZIP, utility, and customer type. We'll run a preliminary screen — never a final approval.
- 02
Review offer details
A representative shares any applicable supplier pricing, contract term, and fee disclosures in writing.
- 03
Decide on your terms
If it makes sense for you, authorize enrollment through the supplier's approved process. Or don't — no obligation.
Why review your options
Information first. Decisions second.
Reviewing supplier options doesn't mean you'll switch. It means you'll understand what's available.
Informed comparison
Understand how a supplier's per-therm price compares to the utility procurement rate on your bill.
Price structure choice
Some offers provide fixed-rate terms that may help with budgeting. Others are variable. You choose.
Your timeline
Review offers at your pace. We follow up only by the method you prefer, and you can opt out anytime.
Plain-language terms
We highlight term length, cancellation rights, and any early termination fee before you decide.
What is natural gas deregulation?
In California, the Core Aggregation Transportation (CAT) program allows eligible core customers to buy the natural gas commodity from a registered third-party supplier, called a Core Transport Agent (CTA), instead of the utility. The utility still owns the pipes and delivers the gas. It's sometimes called "supplier choice" rather than full deregulation.
Will SoCalGas still deliver my gas?
Yes. SoCalGas continues to deliver gas through the same pipelines, read your meter, and maintain the system. Only the supply portion of your bill comes from the supplier you choose.
Will my gas service be interrupted?
Changing suppliers does not involve any physical change at your home or business. There is no new equipment and no planned interruption from a supplier switch.
Is an alternative supplier always cheaper?
No. Supplier prices may be higher or lower than the utility's procurement rate depending on market conditions, contract term, and the offer. We never guarantee savings. Compare the offer to your current rate before deciding.
Are rates fixed or variable?
It depends on the specific offer. Fixed-rate plans lock a price per therm for a set term; variable plans can change month to month. The supplier's contract disclosures will state which applies.
