High storage numbers and fortunate weather patterns kept prices low all year. In fact, many gas plans available now are much cheaper than a year ago. However, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/outlooks\/steo\/report\/natgas.php#:~:text=We%20forecast%20U.S.%20consumption%20of,year%20as%20export%20capacity%20expands.\">EIA<\/a>, prices might go up soon due to more exports. So, let\u2019s compare cheap 12 month gas plans to shop for winter savings in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>12 Month Natural Gas Plans with Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with two plans that have lower rates than last year but are on the higher end of rates compared to other 12 month plans this year.  But, these plans do offer incentives to try to offset those higher rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly it\u2019s the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/gas-south\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gas South<\/a> Fixed 12 Month<\/strong> plan at $0.610 per therm.

Gas South offers $5 bill credits for your first ten months; that&#8217;s $50 total. Additionally, there is no deposit, which can keep up to $150 in your pocket. The plan has a $150 ETF and $6.95-$9.95 monthly charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s talk about the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/georgia-natural-gas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/a> 12 Month Fixed<\/strong> plan at $0.529 per therm.

When we ended up with a warmer winter, storage numbers went up. Production and storage stayed high all summer, giving us <em>months<\/em> of lower gas prices. But, again, the EIA expects prices to go up as we head into next year. If your plan from last year is expiring (or you just want lower bills), it\u2019s a great time to lock down a cheap rate.
