Natural Gas Choice
What is the benefit of this program?
If you are a commercial, industrial or municipal natural gas customer, you may be able to benefit from competition among independent suppliers/marketers by reducing the cost of the natural gas supply portion of your bills.
How do I choose a natural gas supplier?
To do so, enroll in Liberty Utilities' Customer Choice Program so that you can purchase natural gas from a supplier that is registered with the NH Public Utilities Commission.
