The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio's (CenterPoint Energy Ohio) Standard Choice Offer auction conducted on January 20, 2026 resulted in a Retail Price Adjustment (RPA) of $1.65 per Mcf for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027
That's 25% lower than the current RPA of $2.20 per Mcf
Under the SCO auction, winning suppliers will directly serve non-shopping, choice-eligible customers won through the auction for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 at a price equal to the Retail Price Adjustment, fixed for the 12-month term, plus the NYMEX prompt month settlement price for gas. Winning bidders also provide a proportional share of the volumes required to serve choice-ineligible customers under Default Sales Service.
The January 20, 2026 auction proceeded to a sealed bid round
Four bidders were awarded tranches in the 2026 auction, which is the same number of winning bidders as the year-ago auction
The 2026 auction had six bidders which submitted a bid
Winning bidder identities will remain confidential for approximately 15 days.
The 2026 RPA remains subject to PUCO approval
