How Does Georgia Natural Gas Choice Work?

Depending on where they live, Georgians can purchase natural gas from three different types of providers including natural gas marketers (aka providers), investor-owned local distribution companies, or a municipal gas system.

• Georgia residents served by Atlanta Gas Light enjoy the ability to choose their own natural gas provider pursuant to the Natural Gas Competition and Deregulation Act of 1997. This system allows customers to choose from certified natural gas providers and rates are market-based which drives competition and keeps prices steady.
• Residents in Cataula, Harris County, Columbus, and surrounding areas are served by Liberty Utilities, the only local natural gas distribution company in Georgia. Liberty Utilities is fully regulated by the Georgia Public Service Commission.
• 84 municipal gas systems provide natural gas to all other Georgia residents. Prices for municipal gas service are not subject to PSC regulation.

The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for the certification of natural gas providers and utility distribution framework. To obtain a certificate, natural gas providers must demonstrate the technical and financial capacity to sell natural gas within the state of Georgia.

Understanding Your Georgia Natural Gas Bill

Georgia is also unique when it comes to its gas bill. In every other state, deregulated or not, your bill most likely goes through your utility provider. In Georgia, you pay your bill through your energy provider.

In Georgia, there are two parts to your natural gas bill:

1. Delivery and distribution charges – These charges go to your utility provider to support the reliable delivery of natural gas to your home.
2. Supply charges – This pays for the natural gas you use. It's charged by the therm (often labeled as "CCF" on your bill). These charges go to your energy provider.

Sample Georgia natural gas bill

Delivery charges will stay the same no matter which marketer you choose. The energy supply rate is what you should compare when selecting a natural gas provider. This is the rate you pay for natural gas. If you’re shopping for a new provider, you can find this rate on your current natural gas bill.

Types of Natural Gas Rates in Georgia

There are two types of natural gas rates available in Georgia – fixed-rate and variable-rate.

Fixed-Rate Natural Gas– A fixed-rate plan ensures your energy supply rate does not change for the length of the plan

Variable-Rate Natural Gas – A variable rate means your energy supply rate can change periodically based on market conditions.

Some like to take advantage of the occasional lower rates variable-rate plans can provide. However, surprise rate increases do happen and usually occur in the winter when natural gas usage is the highest. ElectricityRates.com only offers fixed-rate natural gas plans that protect you from surprise rate increases, so you can be confident in what you will pay each month.

At the end of a fixed-rate plan, your natural gas supply will likely switch to a variable rate through your chosen provider. If you want to continue enjoying the price protection that a fixed-rate gas plan offers, you can compare and choose another plan between 5 and 90 days out from the end of your contract.
