(UPDATE – January 28, 2026)
Howland Township is currently awaiting PUCO approval on our gas aggregation program. This is the same process we are mandated to follow each time we offer a program. We anticipate an announcement sometime in the first week of February that will include enrollment details and contact information for our supplier, Eastern Petroleum and Gas, as well as Buckeye Energy Brokers.
Howland Township, OH — December 18, 2025
At their regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, December 18, the Howland Township Board of Trustees approved steps to establish a new natural gas aggregation program for Township residents and businesses.
As part of this action, Township Trustees approved an agreement with Buckeye Energy Brokers to seek and administer a gas aggregation program on behalf of Howland Township customers. The Board also authorized the Township Administrator to execute an agreement with Eastern Power and Gas LLC as the preferred natural gas supplier for the program. The approved aggregation program will commence on March 1, 2026, and continue through the gas flow month of September 2027, providing a total program term of 19 months.
Under the approved agreement, participating customers will receive a fixed natural gas supply rate of $4.70 per MCF, excluding applicable taxes and administrative fees. The program includes no enrollment fee, offering price stability and long-term budgeting certainty for residents and local businesses.
The natural gas aggregation program is designed to leverage the Township’s collective buying power to secure competitive pricing while providing consumers with an additional choice. Eligible residents and businesses will receive further information prior to the program start date, including opt-out instructions and program details, as required by law.
Additional updates and enrollment information will be posted on the Howland Township website as the program launch approaches.
