Open Natural Gas: Georgia natural gas rates

Use this when someone asks for the cheapest natural gas in Georgia, Georgia natural gas rates this month, to compare Georgia gas marketers, whether to switch gas marketers, what they would pay a year at a given usage (for example, what would I pay at 900 therms), or about current promo codes and advertised deals. Covers residential customers on Atlanta Gas Light's system. Ranks every Georgia natural gas marketer's current plans of one type by estimated annual cost, from the Georgia PSC's monthly filings. Cost = rate x therms + 12 x sign-up service charge + Atlanta Gas Light base charge. Rows the data gate refused to rank are returned unranked with the reason. Also returns current advertised deals across all terms, including promo codes, conditions and evidence. Present these separately alongside filed rates; do not call the PSC winner cheapest overall without comparing available advertised annual costs and terms. Read-only; does not enroll anyone. Do not use for electricity, commercial or business gas accounts, Liberty Utilities or city/municipal gas systems (use lookup_georgia_gas_provider), PSC-set Regulated Provider rates, other states, or wholesale/Henry Hub prices.

Use this when someone asks who supplies or delivers natural gas at a Georgia ZIP code, whether they can choose a gas marketer there, or whether Atlanta Gas Light, Liberty Utilities or a city gas system serves an area. Returns which kinds of gas system appear for the ZIP (Atlanta Gas Light, where households choose a marketer; Liberty Utilities; or a named city system), how strong the evidence is (listed or likely), each non-AGL system's phone and website, the Atlanta Gas Light pool group, and the sources. It does not say which system serves a particular household: when a ZIP is split, tell the user to check their gas bill. Read-only. Do not use for electricity, other states, or to recommend a marketer.

Use this when someone asks about one Georgia natural gas marketer by name: its reviews or Google rating, PSC complaints, current plans and rates, contract terms such as term length and early termination fee, or its promo codes and advertised deals (for example, is this gas marketer any good, or how many complaints does it have). Returns current filed plans and advertised deals with promo codes, conditions and evidence, PSC complaint counts (24 months) and Google rating for one Georgia natural gas marketer, by name. Counts are shown as published; they are not scored or combined. Report the facts and let the user decide: do not give an overall verdict, grade or recommendation about the marketer, and do not treat rank or price as a measure of quality. Do not use for ranking or comparing several marketers (use compare_rates), electricity providers, Atlanta Gas Light itself (the delivery company, not a marketer), Liberty Utilities (Georgia's PSC-regulated gas utility) or city/municipal gas systems (use lookup_georgia_gas_provider to find which gas system serves a ZIP), Atmos Energy (not covered by these tools), or companies outside Georgia.

Use this when someone asks how Georgia natural gas rates have changed over time, whether gas prices in Georgia are going up or down, what gas cost last winter or in a past year, or how one marketer's price has moved. Returns month-by-month cheapest and median estimated annual cost for one plan type (fixed = standard 12-month) across the PSC filings Open Natural Gas has published since January 2019, optionally for one marketer. Months that were withheld by the data gate are listed, not skipped silently. Do not use for this month's prices or ranking (use compare_rates), forecasts of future rates, electricity, Liberty Utilities or city/municipal gas systems (use lookup_georgia_gas_provider), other states, or wholesale/Henry Hub prices.
