Local Dominion Energy customers may have gotten a notice in the mail stating that they can opt to lock in a fixed price from supplier Dominion Energy Solutions without fees for canceling.

Matt Schilling, media contact with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, said customers can shop around for both natural gas and electric suppliers. A supplier is separate from a utility company, which in Washington County is Dominion Energy.
