It's no secret that natural gas prices go up and go down. Now there's an easy way to protect yourself when prices go up, while reaping the benefits of lower prices when they go down. Introducing the Price Protection Guarantee, only from Georgia Natural Gas® (GNG). It's a Signature Service that takes today's Variable Select rate (the price per therm you are currently paying), and guarantees that you will not pay a higher rate for 12 months.

How It Works

  • Sets a "ceiling" for your variable price equal to the current price
  • Only $1.95 per month for residential customers ($3.95 for commercial)
  • Lasts for 12 months, without a contract
  • Guarantees you won't pay more than today, even if prices go up
  • If prices go down, so does your price

How does the Price Protection Guarantee work?

When you sign up for the Price Protection Guarantee, a maximum per-therm rate (price ceiling) is established for the 12 months. If prices go up, your price won't. But if prices go down, your price will, too.

How much does it cost?

Residential customers will pay just $1.95 a month to get the assurance of not paying a penny more if prices go up, and enjoy full savings of lower rates when prices drop. For non-contract commercial customers, the monthly price is just $3.95.

Who can participate in the Price Protection Guarantee?

Any residential or non-contract commercial on GNG's Variable Select price plan (the standard variable plan) who is in good standing can add the Price Protection Guarantee to their account.

What happens if prices go up?

If prices in future months go higher than today's price, you'll only pay today's price for up to 12 months – that's one benefit of adding the Price Protection Guarantee.

What happens if prices go down?

If prices in future months go down, you'll automatically pay the lower price. And that can add up to big savings!

Is there a contract or agreement when I sign up for GNG's Price Protection Guarantee?

No contract or agreement is required. It is a service that you may cancel at any time without penalty.

What is the cancellation charge?

There is no cancellation charge or penalty for removing the Price Protection Guarantee from your account.

How is the Price Protection Guarantee different from a fixed price plan?

The Price Protection Guarantee is a service that can accompany your Variable Select price plan, and it does not require a contract. A fixed price plan does require a contract and sets a fixed price per therm for the duration of the contract. If prices go up or down, your price does not— you are "locked in" with the price you agreed to pay at the beginning of the contract. In addition, fixed price plans have an early termination charge should you choose to end your contract before the expiration date.

Why is GNG offering this service?

Many GNG customers love the flexibility that comes with a variable price plan and want to continue enjoying savings when the prices go down, but they also want to be protected against rising prices, particularly in the winter months when their usage is higher. The Price Protection Guarantee gives you the benefits of both flexibility and protection.

I am a Small Business GNG Customer. May I add the Price Protection Guarantee service, and how much does it cost?

I still don't get it…can you explain a little more?

Gladly. The natural gas market is complex, and we do our best to make it simple and easy to understand for our customers.

With a variable price plan, the rate (also called the "therm rate", "per-therm rate", or "price per therm") you pay each month can fluctuate as market prices go up and down. Dropping prices are great for variable price plan customers, but rising market prices can create worry and are difficult to predict and budget for. When you sign up for Price Protection Guarantee with GNG, the variable price in effect at the time you sign up becomes your "cap" or "ceiling" for the next 12 months; your price per therm can go down, but it cannot go above that price.
