Positioned near the Georgia-South Carolina border, Augusta, Georgia, is a booming city known for its prestigious golf courses, including the one that hosts the Masters tournament every year.

Natural gas deregulation in Augusta
Before Georgia deregulated its energy market in 1997, residents were required to purchase natural gas from a single designated provider. Since passing Senate Bill 215, Augusta residents have been able to choose their preferred natural gas provider (also called a gas marketer).
Deregulation encourages competition between gas companies in Augusta, often leading to cheaper natural gas rates for residents. With Choose Energy, you can find and compare energy plans and prices in a few simple steps. Here’s how the process works:
- Enter your ZIP code. We’ll show you a list of current natural gas rates and plans available in your area for you to compare. Our marketplace is free to use and the rates we show are all-inclusive.
- Compare your options. Choose Energy features several gas companies in Augusta. Filter for what matters most to you (such as providers or term length), and easily compare the different plans available in your area.
- Sign up in minutes. If you find a natural gas plan that works for your home, we’ll guide you through the enrollment process. If you have questions along the way, call the number on this page to speak with an energy expert.
Augusta utility companies & energy providers
In Augusta, the utility company is Atlanta Gas Light (AGL). With around 1.6 million customers across Georgia, AGL is the largest natural gas distributor in the state and is responsible for delivering natural gas to your home. Your utility is determined based on where you live, so you can’t choose which company services your home.
However, you can select your natural gas supplier if you live in Augusta. Gas suppliers are the companies in charge of selling energy plans to customers. There are a number of Augusta natural gas providers to choose from, such as Constellation Energy.
It’s important to recognize the differences between utilities and gas marketers because they serve unique purposes. Whichever provider you choose, your natural gas will still be delivered by AGL. You should contact AGL if you think you might have a leak, smell gas, or experience a power outage. If you have questions about your account, you should reach out to your supplier.
Augusta renewable energy
As a state, Georgia is still growing its renewable energy efforts. The majority of Georgia’s energy production comes from natural gas, while solar energy typically contributes less than 10%. There are currently no large-scale wind generation operations or renewable energy targets in place in Georgia.
It’s also worth mentioning that, unlike natural gas, electricity is not deregulated in Georgia. In other states, electricity customers can select their electricity provider, and many suppliers offer green energy plans to help customers reduce their carbon footprint. Currently, electricity customers in Georgia cannot choose their supplier the way they can with natural gas.
