It has been a great year to shop fixed natural gas rates in Georgia. 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 EIA, prices might go up soon due to more exports. So, let’s compare cheap 12 month gas plans to shop for winter savings in Georgia.

Firstly it’s the Gas South Fixed 12 Month plan at $0.610 per therm. According to the PSC, this rate is four cents cheaper than last year. Gas South offers $5 bill credits for your first ten months; that's $50 total. Additionally, there is no deposit, which can keep up to $150 in your pocket.

Last year, natural gas prices trended higher likely due to lower storage numbers and expectations of a colder winter. When we ended up with a warmer winter, storage numbers went up. Production and storage stayed high all summer, giving us months 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’s a great time to lock down a cheap rate. Visit us today to pick your 12 month plan at https://www.georgiagassavings.com.
