The Choice Gas program in Nebraska and Wyoming allows you to choose your natural gas supplier and a pricing option that best suits your needs.
When your previous selection term ends, you can choose to stay with your current supplier or submit a new selection online, by phone or by mailing in a selection form during the selection period.
Your supplier is the company that provides your natural gas. In Nebraska and Wyoming, you can select your supplier and pricing option. Black Hills Energy Services is the supplier chosen by 10,000s of satisfied customers.
The utility transports natural gas to your home or farm, sends your monthly bill and handles any service issues you may have. Regardless of which supplier you select, your utility is the same.
No. The reliability of service does not change and your service will not be disrupted. The only difference that results from changing a gas supplier will be the price you pay and the Natural Gas Provider line item on your bill. Your utility services remain regulated by the utility.

The utility considers a selection valid when you submit your choice through one of the accepted submission methods on or before the program's deadline. Confirmation codes have expiration dates. The utility deems the first valid selection they receive as your final choice. Make sure to record your verification number if you're submitting your selection online. If you mail in your selection form, you'll need to sign it for it to be recognized as valid.
If you don’t submit a valid selection on or before the deadline, your account automatically rolls over to your current supplier and your pricing will be determined by your current supplier’s default rate.
If you move from one service address to another, or you are a new customer who moves to a service address within the Choice Gas territory, you will continue with the supplier previously selected for that new address. If you are a new construction customer, the utility will mail you a selection packet.
