Where do the numbers for Columbia Gas of Ohio come from?

Each rate was read from PUCO's Columbia Gas of Ohio historical chart. The newest period, September 28 – October 26, 2026, came from PUCO's Energy Choice Ohio chart. We entered each figure by hand, checked it against a second read of the page, and last read the charts on September 30, 2026.

Rates are in dollars per Ccf, which is one hundred cubic feet of gas (Ohio Administrative Code 4901:1-29-01). Enbridge Gas Ohio's chart uses the Mcf, one thousand cubic feet. PUCO's tables print two to four decimal places, and we show at least three, so a trailing zero may be ours. We keep the original cell text in our data.

Are there gaps or odd dates in the record for Columbia Gas of Ohio?

PUCO's printed dates leave 1 day between June 30 – July 28, 2025 and July 30 – August 27, 2025. We leave this gap as PUCO prints it. For three periods, PUCO printed an end date that was unusable or overlapped the next period. We ended them the day before the next period starts: March 30 – April 28, 2022, December 31, 2025 – January 29, 2026, and March 2 – March 30, 2026.
