What is DTE Gas's standard price?

It is the price you pay if you never picked another company.

Today it is 36 cents per Ccf. A Ccf is one hundred cubic feet of gas (Ccf on your bill).

Your bill may call it the Gas Cost Recovery.

It is also called the GCR. The state approves it, and the utility makes no profit on it.

It follows the market price of natural gas, so it changes every month.

Is it safe to switch?

Yes. Your gas stays on. DTE Gas still delivers your gas and sends your bill.

Only the price part of your bill changes.

You can go back to DTE Gas's standard price later. Check your contract for a fee to leave early.

How do I switch?

Call the company you pick, or sign up on its website. You don't call your utility.

Have your DTE Gas bill ready. The company will ask for a number from it.

Look for your account number near the top of your bill. Ask the company which number it needs.

The new company tells DTE Gas for you.

How long do I have to change my mind?

You have 30 days from the day you sign up to cancel for free.

To cancel, call the new company, write to them or cancel online.

What happens when a price plan ends?

When your plan ends, it keeps going at a price that can change each month, unless you pick a new plan.

You can leave that month-to-month price at any time with no fee.
