Customer Choice
Formerly known as the commodity unbundling option, Customer Choice was made available to business customers in 2004. In 2007, responding to requests from customers who wanted the opportunity to choose how and where they purchased their natural gas, Customer Choice was then offered to residents. This marked the first time in BC that customers were allowed to choose who they purchased their natural gas from: Terasen Gas, which offered variable rates; or independent gas marketers offering fixed rates.
The program is managed by Terasen Gas, but overseen by the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC), the provincial agency responsible for regulating utility companies.

Famous quotes containing the words customer and/or choice:
“The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.”
—Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)
“Fervor is the weapon of choice of the impotent.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
