Regulated provider natural gas rates in Georgia, August 2026

Georgia's deregulated gas market has a safety net: a regulated provider, currently SCANA Energy's regulated division, that must serve customers no marketer will. Its rates are set by the Public Service Commission, not the market, and it files them on the same monthly chart as every marketer. They are shown here, not on the comparison tables, because you cannot shop for them: you are assigned to the regulated provider, and its rates are not a standard offer any household can pick.

Who qualifies

The PSC's chart defines the two groups in a footnote: "The Regulated Provider Group 1 customers - low income customers who are qualified by the State Dept. of Human Services. Group 2 customers - high-credit risk customers who cannot obtain service from a marketer." Group 1 rates are the lowest on the chart; Group 2 rates are the highest. Eligibility is decided by the Department of Human Services (Group 1) or by being turned down by marketers (Group 2), not by this site, which cannot enroll anyone and has no relationship with the provider.
