Market overview

California natural gas choice

California natural-gas service can involve both the local utility and, in eligible areas, a third-party gas supplier. The utility remains responsible for the distribution system and emergency service, while the supplier relationship concerns the gas commodity portion of service.

Because eligibility and available offers vary by utility territory, the most reliable starting point is the service-address ZIP code. UtilityProviders uses ZIP-based comparison routing and manually maintained provider information to help organize the options.
