About Michigan Gas Choice — frequently asked questions

If your question is not answered here, or if you'd like more information, please contact us.

What's different?
We currently buy gas for you and deliver it through your meter as you need it. With the Michigan Gas Choice program, you can now choose to purchase natural gas from another company (supplier). Regardless of your choice, we will continue to deliver the gas to your meter, handle billing, and answer service and emergency calls as well as questions about your MGU account.

Will I have to choose?
No. Michigan Gas Choice is a voluntary program open to all customers on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no obligation to choose another supplier. If you do not want to choose an alternate supplier, do nothing. MGU will continue to supply and deliver your natural gas.

Your chosen supplier will send the enrollment request to MGU for processing.
