2. Your gas utility will continue to distribute gas to your location, send you your bill, check for gas leaks and respond to emergencies.
3. But for purchasing the gas, YOU HAVE A CHOICE! Compare rates and plan options with Grand Rapids Energy®.
4. It’s that simple. Michigan's Gas Customer Choice program gives customers the choice to purchase natural gas from alternative gas suppliers other than their local utility company. Grand Rapids Energy® is a Michigan Public Services Commission-licensed alternative gas supplier that you may select for your natural gas needs in DTE or Consumers utility territories.
