The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com

A January 27 auction to determine the Retail Price Adjustment (RPA) for the Standard Choice Offer at Columbia Gas of Ohio resulted in an RPA of $2.25 per Mcf, for the period April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027

That's 30% lower than the current Columbia Gas SCO RPA of $3.25 per Mcf

The auction results remain subject to approval by PUCO

The Retail Price Adjustment will be added to the NYMEX closing price for the prompt month to set the Standard Choice Offer rate.

The SCO auction is a retail auction which assigns specific customers to winning suppliers (plus a portion of the load ineligible for choice, such as Percentage of Income Payment Plan customers) for a one-year term.

At Columbia Gas of Ohio, there were 6 winning bidders in the 2026 auction, versus 7 winning bidders in the year-ago auction

There were 8 bidders who submitted a bid in the 2026 auction, versus 7 bidders who submitted a bid a year ago

Winning bidders will be kept confidential for a period of approximately 15 days
