Nicor Gas business customers have many choices when selecting their natural gas service.
Business customers can purchase all supplies from Nicor Gas as a "sales service" customer or elect to become a transportation customer under Rider 25 or one of the unbundled transportation rates: Rate 74, 75, 76 or 77. Customers who can secure supplies at costs lower than our commodity gas cost can see considerable savings.
Rider 25 Rider 25 is a fully-bundled service under which customers can transport their own supplies. A fixed storage capacity is assigned to each customer equivalent to 26 times (28 times after June 1, 2006) their Maximum Daily Contract Quantity (MDCQ). Each customer is fully backed up, and any supplies required in excess of customer-owned gas will be provided by Nicor Gas at the commodity gas cost.
Groups Customers that have more than one account in our service territory may form groups. Grouping allows consolidation of administrative activities such as nominating gas. |

Please Note: as part of Nicor Gas' recent rate case, specific charges for several Sales and Transportation rates have changed effective January 1, 2007, as ordered by the Illinois Commerce Commission. |
