The Georgia Public Service Commission has announced that Scana Energy, a unit of Scana Corporation, has won a competitive bid to continue serving as the State of Georgia’s sole regulated provider of natural gas, a role the company has had since the regulated provider program began in 2002.
According to the company, beginning September 1, 2009, through August 31, 2011, the program will have new, more favorable terms for Georgia’s senior citizens, as well as for credit-challenged customers with improved payment histories.
George Devlin, vice president and general manager of Scana Energy, said: “We are pleased the Georgia Public Service Commission has once again selected Scana Energy to serve this vital role of providing natural gas service to the elderly and low-income, and to citizens who have no other source for natural gas.
“As Georgia’s only regulated provider since deregulation, people across the state have rely on Scana Energy to provide affordable natural gas to Georgians who need us.”
Scana Energy is a unit of Scana Corporation. It claims to be one of the largest natural gas marketers in Georgia, serving approximately 460,000 customers. Headquartered in Columbia, Scana Corporation, is an energy-based holding company principally engaged, through subsidiaries, in electric and natural gas utility operations and other energy-related businesses.
