FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SELECTION PERIOD UNDERWAY FOR
CHOICE GAS CUSTOMERS
Lincoln, April 9, 2025- The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) reminds consumers served by
Black Hills Energy’s Choice Gas Program, the time
to choose a supplier is underway. The selection
period for residential/commercial choice customers
in the Black Hills area runs through April 23.
The Choice Gas Program administered by Black Hills
Energy allows residential, commercial, and ag customers
residing in certain areas of the state to choose a third-
party supplier to provide their natural gas.
“It’s important to remember the selection period only
applies to those customers served by the Choice Gas
Program,” said Nichole Mulcahy, PSC Natural Gas
Department Director. “Consumers in the areas served
by the program, should have received information from
suppliers to help them make an informed choice on
which company they would like to provide them
natural gas.”
Choosing a supplier could result in the consumer seeing
a benefit by receiving a lower price for their natural gas.
Those customers who don’t make a selection, are assigned
a default supplier and rate, which could result in paying
more.
Information for Nebraska Choice Gas customers including
a list of Nebraska towns participating in the Choice Gas
Program can be found on the Black Hills Energy website
< https://www.blackhillsenergy.com/services/choice-gas-
program/nebraska-choice-gas-customers >. Additional
information can be found on the Choice Gas Program
page of the PSC website.
Director Mulcahy said, “We encourage eligible consumers
to take the time to review their options and make an
informed choice before the April 23 deadline.”

Consumer Choice Gas Program are encouraged to contact
