	Distribution Services Base Charge	$14.00/month
	Energy Charge - First 1,000 kWh Energy - All kWh over 1,000	$0.0345 / kWh $0.0245 / kWh

By virtue of CERC's nature as a member-owned utility, we are not required to participate in the competitive natural gas market. However, the information is useful if you are interested in keeping track of how CERC rates compare to the rest of the marketplace.

For an accurate comparison, read the PUCO chart carefully for terms and conditions of the offers and whether they include tax.
