Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op is an authorized alternate supplier of natural gas in the MichCon/DTE Energy Natural Gas Customer Choice Program. PIE&G has participated in the Gas Customer Choice Program in prior years and we expect to participate again. We have been very successful providing substantial savings to MichCon/DTE customers.

At the present time, however, market conditions do not make it advantageous for us to offer participation in the Gas Customer Choice Program. Please check back with us periodically as we are constantly evaluating the market in order to determine if there is an opportunity for you to again enjoy savings on your DTE/MichCon natural gas bill.

In addition, future building sites or requests for service in our service territory will also still be handled by PIE&G. We will construct the lines and set a meter at new sites as we do currently. It will still be our responsibility to maintain and upkeep our infrastructure. If a member experiences an outage, power quality problem, tree on the line, etc. in a deregulated electric industry, they will still contact PIE&G to correct the situation.

Will you have the power to choose a 3^rd party electric supplier in the future? Probably. Will that improve the electric industry as a whole? Only time will tell. However, we at Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op are committed to serve our communities, with honesty and integrity. We believe that this commitment and the fact that we are locally owned and operated by our members, will continue to strengthen our organization.
