For some customers, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/introductory-variable-rate-plan\"><strong>SCANA Introductory Variable Rate Plan<\/strong><\/a> is an ideal way to keep their options open whilst still saving on their energy bill.<\/p>\n<h3>Who is SCANA Energy?<\/h3>\n<p>SCANA is one of the major energy suppliers in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/\"><strong>Atlanta Gas &amp; Light service area<\/strong><\/a>. They offer a wide range of different natural gas plans to suit different consumers, including numerous fixed-rate deals of different lengths. The <strong>SCANA Introductory Variable Rate Plan <\/strong>is designed to give new customers an easy, flexible way to save.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the SCANA Introductory Rate Variable Plan work?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>SCANA\u2019s Introductory Rate Variable Plan<\/strong> is designed to give households great flexibility and a great price and gives anyone looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/ga-natural-gas-rates-by-city\"><strong>cheap natural gas in Georgia<\/strong><\/a> the chance to save on their energy bills.<\/p>\n<p>As the name implies, this plan is only available to consumers who are new to SCANA Energy. Typically, an energy supplier\u2019s variable rate plan will have a much higher cost-per-therm than their fixed-rate plans. However, with this plan, the low introductory rate is just $0.40 per therm.<\/p>\n<p>But while this rate is the same as many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/shopping\/best-natural-gas\"><strong>best natural gas plans in Georgia<\/strong><\/a><strong><u>, <\/u><\/strong> it only applies to the first billing cycle (usually a calendar month, but can be shorter). After this point, customers will be switched to SCANA\u2019s standard variable rate plan. The standard SCANA variable rate plan attracts a much higher cost-per-therm of $1.22 but still allows customers to switch at will with no early termination fee. So customers can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\"><strong>compare Georgia gas rates<\/strong><\/a> and switch if a better deal comes along or their circumstances change.<\/p>\n<h3>Does this gas plan have any other charges?<\/h3>\n<p>SCANA Energy charges a $5.95 customer fee as part of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-natural-gas-bill\"><strong>natural gas bill<\/strong><\/a> each month to all account holders. As fees go, it\u2019s competitive with many other providers, some of whom charge up to $9.95. In addition, consumers who have already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/when-is-the-best-time-to-switch-georgia-gas-providers\">switched natural gas providers<\/a> in the last 12 months may be charged a $7.50 switching fee.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this the right energy plan for me?<\/h3>\n<p>This plan offers many benefits and can be ideal for many households. The ability to take advantage of a short introductory rate without committing to a provider allows consumers who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/five-things-about-georgia-natural-gas\"><strong>know about natural gas rates in Georgia<\/strong><\/a> to keep their options open, which can be very useful. It\u2019s important, however, to know when the introductory rate expires &#8211; the standard variable rate costs much more, and consumers should seek out a deal for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/\"><strong>cheap natural gas in Georgia\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>before being put on this rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is SCANA\u2019s Introductory Variable Rate Plan?
