Columbia Gas of Ohio, Dominion East Ohio and Vectren Energy Delivery are transitioning out of the business of procuring gas for their customers, focusing instead on the business of natural gas delivery and customer service, and fostering a choice and competition based market to serve the gas supply needs of its customers.

DTE Energy Supply will be identified as your SCO supplier on your bill.

In order for us to stop charging you sales tax OR continue your tax exempt status, you need to provide DTE Energy Supply with a sales tax exemption certificate (PDF). DTE Energy Supply is required by the state of Ohio to have a copy of your tax exemption certificate on file. Therefore all qualifying tax exempt customers are required to provide us with a sales tax exemption certificate within 60 days of initial service. If we do not have a tax exemption certificate in our file 60 days from initial delivery, we will be required to discontinue your tax exempt status.

Please complete the form and send it to:

DTE Energy Supply
Ohio Gas SCO Customer Service
414 South Main Street, Suite 200
Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Alternatively, you can e-mail a scanned copy to DTESupply@dteenergy.com or fax it to 734.887.4065. Please be sure to include your name, utility company, account number and phone number in the e-mail/fax cover sheet in case we have follow-up questions.

Once received by us, future bills will reflect your tax exemption. Refunds on sales tax already paid can be claimed from the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Customers continue to have the option to shop for their own natural gas supply, either through an individual agreement with a certified Choice supplier of through a governmental aggregation program.

For more information, please visit the Public Utility Commission of Ohio website.

Standard Choice Offer (SCO) rates are set based on a simple formula:

• Current market rate for natural gas as determined by the monthly closing price for the natural gas contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).
• Plus a fixed retail price adjustment reflecting the additional cost to bring the gas to the customer. The retail price adjustment was determined in a competitive auction administered by Vectren Energy and approved by the Ohio Public Service Commission.

Since current market rates change based on supply and demand, the monthly rate charged to customers will change as well.

The below rates apply to all deliveries during the time period shown.
