Georgia Natural Gas Guide

December 2011:

Natural gas rates continue dropping and December is again a great month to lock in if you haven't already done so.

The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) reports the lowest-cost provider for this month is Infinite Energy, which is advertising a rate of .599 cents per therm. (That price effectively becomes $1.03 per therm when you factor in the customer service charge, which can be waived for customers with excellent credit. For others, it will be up to $5.95.)

So I'm again advising people to lock in this month if you haven't already done so. You might not even have to switch companies to get the lower rate. If you're still in a floating rate as you read this, call your current natural gas provider to see if they'll offer to match the offer from Infinite Energy just to keep your business. If they will and you've been happy with the customer service, consider staying. If not, take your business and bring it elsewhere.

For those who want to wait it out one more month and see if natural gas prices do in fact drop lower, the cheapest floating rate provider this month is also Coweta-Fayette EMC.

Marketers file their rates by the 5th of each month, so check back again sometime during the first two weeks of January for my next update.
