Prepay natural gas rates in Georgia, October 2026
Prepay plans filed with the Georgia Public Service Commission this month. These plans do not require a credit check, and some are billed as a flat amount rather than a rate per therm; where that is the case, the marketer's own wording is shown instead of a rate.
Turned down elsewhere or trying to avoid a deposit? The credit and no-deposit guide compares prepay with Regulated Provider Group 2 and a standard plan, and covers the $150 deposit cap.

The PSC's "typical bill" on this chart doesn't add up
The PSC's pre-pay chart prints its own monthly (and, for fixed plans, annual) bill for a typical customer. Its footnotes say those totals include Atlanta Gas Light's base charge, $39.71 a month in October 2026 and $580.53 a year. On this chart they do not reconcile with that. We show the PSC's figures exactly as filed. The estimated annual costs in the tables above are this site's own, computed the same way for every plan, and they include the base charge.
| Plan | PSC filed monthly bill | Rate × 18 therms + service charge | Our estimate with AGL base charge ($39.71) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas South Bridge Rate senior 12 months | $30.65 | $30.65 | $70.36 |
| Gas South Bridge Rate senior 6 months | $30.65 | $30.65 | $70.36 |
| Gas South Bridge Rate 12 months | $31.01 | $31.01 | $70.72 |
| Gas South Bridge Rate 6 months | $31.01 | $31.01 | $70.72 |
| Gas South Bridge Rate senior Variable | $47.21 | $47.21 | $86.92 |
| Gas South Bridge Rate | $47.57 | $47.57 | $87.28 |
| Georgia Natural Gas | $51.45 | $51.47 | $91.18 |
The PSC's filed typical monthly bill for these 7 plans appears to exclude the AGL base charge: each one equals the filed rate times 18 therms plus the service charge, with nothing for the base charge. Our estimate adds the $39.71 base charge back, using only the chart's own figures. Plans labelled senior: qualifying seniors pay a lower base charge (see the chart's footnote 3), so their real bill would sit between the two columns.
The PSC's Total Annual Bill for Gas South Bridge Rate 12 months and Gas South Bridge Rate 6 months is $867.15. As filed; doesn't reconcile: the filed rate times 641 therms plus twelve months of service charge comes to $869.37 before the base charge and $1,449.90 with it. Our estimated annual cost in the tables above is the figure with the base charge included.
Prepaid plan questions
Short answers from the PSC pre-pay chart and the plan-types guide. Other plan types are on the Georgia rates hub.
- What is a prepaid natural gas plan in Georgia?
- You pay before you use the gas rather than being billed after. There is normally no credit check and no deposit. Some prepaid plans are billed as a flat monthly amount with no per-therm rate filed at all, so they cannot be compared on rate and this site does not rank them by annual cost.
- How does prepaid differ from a standard fixed or variable plan?
- Prepaid is a separate PSC chart. The point is paying ahead, usually without a credit check or deposit. Standard fixed and variable plans bill after usage and may require credit approval. Where a prepaid plan files no per-therm rate, the marketer's own wording is shown instead of a rate, and those rows sort last because there is no annual cost to rank.
- Is a prepaid plan the same as Georgia's regulated provider?
- No. Prepaid plans are competitive marketer products you can shop when a marketer offers them. The regulated provider is a PSC-designated safety net for customers who cannot get a market contract, with its own approved rates, not a prepaid product.
