Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan
The Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan allows you to select a fixed, per-unit price for the natural gas you consume. (The price applies to the cost of the gas itself; regular delivery charges still apply and your bill will still vary according to the amount of gas you use.)
The advantage of this plan is having a known cost per unit of gas for a one-year period. Since the cost of the gas is usually the largest portion of your natural gas bill, this can be a good way to protect yourself from the kind of ups and downs in price that we’ve experienced in recent years.
If you enroll in the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan, you should realize that you could pay more or less than customers who remain on Oklahoma Natural Gas Company's system average cost of gas. The plan does not guarantee savings; it is intended to protect customers from the wide swings in natural gas prices that sometimes occur.
The price of gas for the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan will be $6.194 per Dekatherm for the
12-month period from November 2009 through October 2010. To participate, you must enroll by October 23, 2009.

Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan Terms
- Customers must enroll for the entire 12-month period.
- During the plan period, enrollees will pay a fixed price of $6.194 per Dekatherm of gas used.
- If an enrollee moves within Oklahoma Natural Gas Company’s service area during the plan period, enrollment transfers to the new service location.
- Customers may participate simultaneously in the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan and the Average Payment Plan.
- Enrollees may not opt out of the Temperature Adjustment Clause.*
- Small commercial customers (businesses using 150 dekatherms or less annually) must also enroll in the Automatic Bank Draft Plan in order to be eligible for the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan. Businesses using more than 150 dekatherms annually are not eligible for the Voluntary Fixed-Price Plan.
* The Temperature Adjustment Clause is a means of adjusting a portion of your bill to reflect normal weather conditions from October through May each year. It has the effect of slightly lowering your bill in abnormally cold periods and slightly raising it when the winter is unusually warm. In September 2000, customers were given the choice to opt out of the program if they desired to do so. .
