January 1 - March 1
    If you wish to switch gas rates, the process for doing so begins several 
    months in advance. Between Jan. 1 and Mar. 1, you will need to complete 
    a Notification of Intent to Switch Natural Gas Rate Schedules form and send 
    it to WPS. This first step in the rate-switching process, 
    and it notifies us of your intentions. The actual switch will occur the 
    following November 1.
    November 1
    Before the Nov. 1 switch date, several addition forms are needed to 
    complete the rate-switching process:
    
	    - Marketer Verification Agreement -
	    (formally - Agent Verification Agreement): you should complete this form with your gas
	    marketer or broker. It tells us who your 
        marketer or broker is, who we should notify if there is a gas constraint (you, your marketer 
        or broker, or both), who has permission to access your information, and where your bill should be sent.
- Electric Interruption/Gas Constraint Notification form:
        This form indicates which individual(s) at your company or your marketer's company should be
	    notified if there is a gas constraint or interruption. Your WPS account
	    executive will meet with you personally to complete this form.
- Gas Transportation Contract: A gas transportation contract is required for
	    all customers who transport gas to our system. Your WPS account executive
	    will meet with you personally to complete this contract.
- PEGASys online request form:
        After completing this form, you will gain access to the WPS
        online system for gas transportation marketers. You'll be able to view your hourly natural gas
        use over a secure connection.
Please note: If you are switching to traditional gas transportation service, you will need to supply uninterrupted 120-volt power to the metering site.
