ABSTRACT
Depending upon the arrangement, the different bills will generally be received from: When these bills first start arriving, it may seem that provider supplied natural gas is not worth the effort. The local distribution company's billing process will remain much the same in the provider natural gas process. Typically, the provider will perform the nomination process for the customer. However, the process remains the responsibility of the customer regardless of who actually performs the nomination process. The nomination process of purchasing natural gas through other than LDC sources is termed third party. However, the customer needs to understand the process of nomination banking and meter reading since it is the customer who is the responsible party for the entire process. A customer purchasing natural gas through a provider needs to be aware of the natural gas nomination process even though the provider usually takes responsibility for this function.
