DOUGLAS, WY — March 22, 2022 — Black Hills Energy is the administrator of the Wyoming Choice Gas program, which this year enters its 26th season. The 2022 Wyoming Choice Gas annual selection period for eligible residential and commercial natural gas customers of Black Hills Energy begins on Friday, April 1, and ends Thursday, April 21. The Choice Gas program is not available in the Cheyenne or Cody areas. 

For the 2022 Wyoming Choice Gas program year, eligible customers can select from one of nine participating suppliers of natural gas. An eligible customer consists of customers who have not already signed a delegation agreement with a natural gas supplier in 2022, or who have made a multi-year selection in 2021 whose term includes the 2022 program year.  

During the three-week selection period, suppliers compete to provide the natural gas commodity to a customer for the upcoming Choice Gas period, which runs from June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023. The participating natural gas suppliers will provide information on various prices and price options to customers, either directly or through advertising. Black Hills Energy customers in participating Wyoming communities should receive their selection packets prior to April 1.  

A list of towns where Choice Gas is available can be viewed at choicegas.com. Wyoming Choice Gas cities and towns include but are not limited to Casper, Douglas, Gillette, Lander, Laramie, Newcastle, Rawlins, Riverton, Torrington, and Wheatland. 

“Choice Gas gives qualifying customers an easy way to choose the supplier and price option that suits them best to help manage their monthly natural gas utility bills,” said Mark Stege, vice president of operations for Black Hills Energy-Wyoming. “We encourage all of our Choice Gas-eligible customers to actively participate by evaluating the different price options and associated prices offered by the Choice Gas suppliers and making the selection that makes the most sense for their energy needs and budget.”
