Shop these hot summer gas rates and see how much you can save!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With higher electricity use in summer, we often see spikes in natural gas prices. This is because we produce most of our electricity by burning natural gas, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/tools\/faqs\/faq.php?id=427&amp;t=3\">EIA<\/a>. However, this summer we are seeing some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\">GA gas prices<\/a> even lower than in the spring! Thanks to some milder weather and high natural gas production and storage levels this year, it\u2019s a great time to lock in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/deals\">cheapest natural gas<\/a> plan. Let\u2019s look at our natural gas providers and see which summer gas rates squeak lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Gas Providers with Steady Summer Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of our natural gas providers have had steady rates since the spring low demand period. That means if you snag one of these plans now, you can rest assured that you\u2019re getting a great rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, it\u2019s the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/constellation\">Constellation<\/a> 12 Month A\/C Protect Plus <\/strong>plan. The current rate is $0.499 per therm. The rate on this plan has held steady since May. This plan has an ETF of $150 and a monthly charge of $6.95. Additionally, the plan automatically renews to the provider\u2019s standard variable rate plan or fixed rate plan they select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, it\u2019s the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/scana-energy\">Scana Energy<\/a> 12 month<\/strong> plan. The current rate is $0.649. The rate on this plan has been the same since April. The plan has a $150 ETF and $6.95 monthly charge. The provider may offer the option of automatic renewal to a fixed rate plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Gas Providers with Lower Summer Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These natural gas providers will do you even better than steady rates. The prices on these plans are lower than they were in spring. Let\u2019s take a closer look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, it\u2019s the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/georgia-natural-gas\">Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/a> 12 month<\/strong> fixed plan. At $0.549 per therm, it\u2019s $0.02 lower than in April. The plan has an ETF of $100 the first 6 months and $50 the last 6 months. &nbsp;Also, there\u2019s $5.99-$8.99 monthly charge. Finally, this plan automatically renews to the provider\u2019s standard variable rate unless otherwise specified in your plan\u2019s disclosure statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, it\u2019s the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/gas-south\">Gas South<\/a> fixed 12 month<\/strong> plan. At $0.610, it\u2019s $0.04 cheaper than in May. The plan has a $150 ETF and $6.95-$9.95 monthly charge. At the end of the term, the provider gives you your options to move forward in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it\u2019s the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/xoom-energy\">Xoom Energy<\/a> SureLock 12<\/strong> plan. At $0.469, it\u2019s $0.04 cheaper than the May price. The plan has a $100 ETF and $5.85 monthly charge. This plan automatically renews to the provider\u2019s standard variable rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Saving Money with Dropping Gas Prices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is certain: if you pick one of these plans today, you\u2019ll be in as good of shape to save money as nearly anyone who grabbed a plan during the spring shoulder season. Less certain is how long these low prices will stick. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/naturalgas\/weekly\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">EIA &#8216;s weekly gas report<\/a>, natural gas production is on a downward trend. This could very well affect prices going into the heating season. So, the question is, what plan are you going to choose?
