Service Details
With Georgia’s natural gas deregulation, the Atlanta Gas Light Company stores and distributes natural gas in its facilities. Marketers then sell the natural gas to you. Despite deregulation and competition, most public entities overpay between 3 to 12 cents per therm of natural gas, including overpayments for pipeline and transportation costs. To help you save money, our experienced team tackles the difficult process of natural gas purchasing, negotiating, and implementing by:
Selecting your marketer and handling all negotiations.
To reduce your natural gas expense, we select the right marketer and negotiate as necessary to ensure the lowest possible cost to you.
Regularly reviewing billing records and resolving problems with your markete
r. To ensure that your natural gas marketer indeed invoices as agreed, we regularly review your billing records for errors or inconsistencies. In addition, we’ll help resolve any problems that arise along the way.
Cost
You pay no direct fee. We include a one-cent per therm of gas usage in the rate charged by the marketer as a service charge to cover our costs.
We negotiate pricing based on your natural gas usage. If your current supplier modifies their contract, we will work with that supplier to ensure that you are always paying the lowest price. If a new marketer is chosen, we will ensure that all accounts are moved to the new marketer and then follow up to confirm that the contract pricing is correct and honored month to month.
Also, we may lock a percentage of the natural gas at a fixed price and keep the remaining portion on a variable basis. This strategy gives you the benefit of a blended rate that provides budget certainty and limits the impact of energy price increases.
