A credit check using a standard industry scoring methodology will be performed before your new service is established. The credit check may also be used to verify your identity. If the information provided cannot be validated to perform the credit check, you may be required to furnish proof of identification. Failure to provide such information may result in refusal of service.
You will be assessed a deposit not to exceed $150. Group 2 senior citizens, whose status has been verified by the Georgia Department of Human Services or as defined by Atlanta Gas Light (AGL), will not be charged a deposit. Group 2 senior citizens who are reconnected after being disconnected for non-payment will be assessed a deposit of $100. Your deposit plus accrued interest, if applicable, will be refunded to your account within sixty (60) days if all bills have been paid in full and on time as indicated on your monthly bills for a period of six (6) consecutive months, or you have the option to request a check for your applied deposit refund. If you change marketers or discontinue service, your deposit, less any outstanding balance with SCANA Energy, will be refunded within sixty (60) days. Any deposit held six (6) months or longer will accrue applicable interest.
A consumer shall have a three-day right of rescission following the receipt of this disclosure at the time of initiating service or when informed of a change in terms or conditions. You, the consumer may cancel in writing or electronically by contacting SCANA Energy.
The cancellation will be deemed timely if you contact SCANA Energy within three (3) days of receiving materials or notice. You can contact SCANA Energy by telephone, e-mail, or U.S. mail. If the contact is by U.S. mail, it must be postmarked by the third day following receipt of materials or notice.
When establishing service with the Regulated Provider, a connection fee will be assessed by AGL. If your service is disconnected for non-payment, a reconnection fee of up to $25 will be charged, in addition to any fees assessed by AGL.
Customers who have already switched marketers within the last twelve (12) months may incur an AGLC switching fee of $7.50.
Your natural gas bill will be comprised of the following charges:
The AGLC Pass-Through Charge is a regulated charge from the utility that is billed through each gas marketer. SCANA Energy bills the full pass-through charge regardless of the number of days of service.
The natural gas consumption charge does not include state and local taxes or charges imposed by AGLC. The methodology for calculating natural gas consumption charges for each plan is described below.
The variable price is subject to change monthly based on market conditions. For customers electing this plan, the natural gas consumption charge will be calculated using the variable price in effect on the first day of the billing cycle multiplied by usage for that billing period. A billing cycle is approximately one month; however, the actual number of days may vary with each billing cycle. You may receive an initial bill for less than a complete billing cycle.
A variable price option customer whose most recent six (6) consecutive monthly payments were made in full on or before the due date will be offered a $0.05 per therm discount and notified of their eligibility to receive deregulated service from SCANA Energy. The communication will detail the customer’s options at that time, including the option to select another natural gas marketer. Any customer who chooses to be switched to deregulated service with SCANA Energy will be offered SCANA Energy’s deregulated price offerings on file with the Commission.
Timely payments are those posted to the account on or before the due date. If two (2) timely payments are missed, the account would return to the higher per therm rate.
Senior citizens will receive a $0.05 per them discount off of the Group 2 variable price that is filed with the Commission.
Customers electing the fixed price option will receive service at $0.17 per therm above SCANA Energy’s “SCANA 6 Month Fixed” or “SCANA 12 Month Fixed” price that is filed with the Commission or a price established at $0.35 per therm above the weighted average cost of the Regulated Provider’s CSS directly assigned storage gas as of the first day of the offer month, whichever is greater. Customers whose most recent six (6) consecutive monthly payments were made in full on or before the due date will be offered a $0.05 per therm discount at the expiration of their fixed price and notified of their eligibility to receive deregulated service from SCANA Energy. This communication will detail the customer’s options at that time, including the option to select another natural gas marketer. Any customer who chooses to be switched to deregulated service with SCANA Energy will be offered SCANA Energy’s deregulated price offerings on file with the Commission.
The term for the fixed price option will be six (6) or twelve (12) billing cycles. If there are six (6) or more but less than twelve (12) billing cycles left in the Regulated Provider term, the term for the fixed price option will be six (6) billing cycles or the number of billing cycles left in the Regulated Provider term. If there are less than six (6) billing cycles left in the Regulated Provider term, the term for the fixed price option will be the number of billing cycles left in the Regulated Provider term. If the term chosen for the fixed price option is the number of billing cycles left in the Regulated Provider term, the fixed price will be based on the “12 Month Fixed” price. A fixed price option will be offered throughout the term of the Regulated Provider. A billing cycle is approximately one month; however, the actual number of days may vary with each billing cycle. You may receive an initial bill for less than a complete billing cycle. Exiting a fixed rate plan early carries a $100 exit fee in addition to any balance due regardless of how long you have participated in the fixed rate plan.
You will not be charged an exit fee if you are terminating service to relocate to another premise where a fixed rate is not offered by SCANA Energy, or if you are a low-income residential customer seeking service from the regulated provider for the first time.
Prior to the expiration date of your fixed rate option plan, or whenever we propose to change our terms of service in any type of agreement, you will receive advance written notification. We will explain your options in the advance written notification, including your opportunity to choose another natural gas provider.
Senior Citizens will receive a $0.05 per them discount off of the Group 2 fixed price that is filed with the Commission.
You will be assessed a fixed charge per month to cover administrative expenses. SCANA Energy asseses a full customer service charge for each bill regardless of the number of days of service. The monthly customer service charge for Group 2 customers is $8.95. The monthly customer service charge for senior citizens is $8.50. The customer service charge for a customer whose most recent six (6) consecutive monthly payments were made in full on or before the due date will be reduced to $6.95 and $6.50 for senior citizens.
Timely payments are those posted to the account on or before the due date. If two (2) timely payments are missed, the account would return to the higher customer service charge and price per therm.
You are responsible for all taxes, fees, levies, penalties, licenses or charges imposed by any government authority with respect to services rendered. The prices quoted do not include state and local taxes.
SCANA Energy will invoice you monthly. Payment is due to SCANA Energy by the payment due date. In the event payment is not received by the due date, a $10 or 1.5% late charge, whichever is greater, will be applied to any unpaid balance of $30 or more. SCANA Energy will not send estimated bills unless AGLC has not made the actual meter readings available. In such cases, estimated bills will not be sent for more than two (2) consecutive months.
There is a $35 charge for any payment delivered or ordered by you that is dishonored or returned unpaid by a financial institution. If two (2) payments are dishonored or returned unpaid by your financial institution within a twelve (12) month period, your account will become a cash-basis account, meaning you will be required to pay your account by cash, cashier’s check or money order. If your account becomes a cash-basis account, SCANA Energy reserves the right to discontinue any of the electronic payment services being made available to you. This should not affect your ability to view the status of your account. After a twelve (12) month period with no payments dishonored or returned unpaid, the cash basis designation will be removed from your account.
If you do not make a payment in full within twenty (20) days of the date your bill is mailed or posted electronically your service may be disconnected. You will be sent a disconnection notice fifteen (15) days prior to the date of disconnection advising you of the availability of one reasonable payment arrangement unless you failed to honor a previous payment arrangement. A Final Notice will be sent by U.S. Mail to your last known mailing address five (5) days prior to disconnection and will constitute sufficient good faith effort to contact you under this agreement.
Service will be disconnected for failure to pay SCANA Energy. Service will not be disconnected for non-payment of a bill that was not sent in a timely manner. You are entitled to a reasonable payment arrangement prior to disconnection of service unless you have failed to honor a previous payment arrangement. Your receipt of a reasonable payment arrangement does not constitute a waiver by SCANA Energy of any other rights under the Terms and Conditions and this Disclosure Statement including, but not limited to, SCANA Energy's right to subsequently disconnect service. You are responsible for the charges associated with natural gas consumption until the disconnection has been made.
SCANA Energy will continue to seek collection of any outstanding debts even if you no longer receive natural gas service through SCANA Energy. The account may be sent to a third party collection agency and/or an attorney for collection purposes. We retain the right to seek additional costs associated with collecting the debt.
If you have a bill dispute, SCANA Energy has thirty (30) days from the date the error is reported or acknowledged by SCANA Energy to correct the billing error or to show proof of why the disputed bill is correct. During the period the billing error is being disputed, SCANA Energy will neither impose a late charge or penalty on the disputed amount nor initiate an action to disconnect your service or collect on the past due balance, provided the disputed amount constitutes the total amount of the past due balance. Any undisputed amount must be paid by the due date. Failure to pay the undisputed amount may result in late charges or service disconnection. In the event the billing error results in an overpayment, a credit will be applied to your account. You will have at least ninety (90) days from the date a correct bill is rendered to pay the corrected amount. No late charges or interest will be charged on the corrected amount during the ninety (90) day period.
SCANA Energy reserves the right in any subsequent bill to include adjustments related to previous billing errors, meter read errors, miscalculation of taxes, or other errors or omissions.
A residential customer who establishes service in Group 2 will be transferred from Group 2 service to Group 1 service upon SCANA Energy receiving confirmation of the customer's income eligibility if the customer’s account is in good standing. For a Group 2 senior citizen, an account in good standing means that the customer has paid the Group 2 service balance (if applicable) and the Group 1 service balance in full. A Group 1 non-senior citizen who established service in Group 2 will be transferred from Group 2 service to Group 1 service if the customer’s account is in good standing. For a Group 2 non-senior citizen, an account in good standing means that the customer has paid the Group 2 balance (if applicable) and the Group 1 balance in full.

The Budget Billing Plan averages a customer’s forecasted annual bills over a twelve (12) month period. Changes to the monthly Budget Billing amount may be made during the year if a rate change occurs or if the actual usage changes significantly. An annual adjustment is scheduled after twelve (12) monthly bills. At that time, the Budget Billing amount will be recalculated based on the actual usage during the prior year, and the payments and charges are reconciled. If the total amount of payments were not enough to cover the actual charges for the previous year, the difference will be due. You will be given the option to either pay the difference from the previous year in full or have the amount brought forward from the previous year as part of the new monthly payment amount. If the payments were more than the actual charges, the credit amount will be applied in the calculation of the next year’s monthly Budget Billing amount. Monthly Budget Billing payments must be made in full by the due date to avoid assessment of a late payment charge and removal from the Budget Billing plan, regardless of whether your account is carrying a debit or credit balance. Removal from the Budget Billing plan will result in the actual charges becoming due. Eligibility for enrollment in a Budget Billing Plan requires a customer to have made twelve (12) consecutive timely payments or enroll during the enrollment period of June through August. The customers’ previous payment history will carry over to the new term of the Regulated Provider.
These payment arrangements are a means to assist customers by allowing them to pay billed balances in monthly installments. Customer Relations Specialists review customers’ payment history to determine eligibility for these plans.
The Seasonal Deferred Payment Plan is a payment arrangement designed to assist customers through a traditionally higher bill period of the year. The plan is available from November 15 until March 15. These payment arrangements are a means to assist customers by allowing them to pay billed balances in monthly installments that are deferred to begin billing until their first available cycle after March 15. Customer Relations Specialists review customers’ payment history to determine eligibility for these plans.
To request disconnection of service call 1.866.245.7742. Disconnection is dependent upon AGLC’s service schedule. Therefore, your request date for disconnection and the date of disconnection by AGLC may be different. You are responsible for the charges associated with natural gas consumption until the disconnection has been made.
In entering into this agreement, SCANA Energy has relied on your representations related to your identity. If SCANA Energy determines that you have provided us incorrect information related to your name, address, or social security number, your service request will be cancelled or your service disconnected. Prior to any such disconnection, SCANA Energy will provide a fifteen (15) day written notice of the proposed disconnection.
You may be disconnected for the non-payment of a bill as outlined in the Billing and Collection section above.
Rules governing our service to you do not allow disconnection of service during certain periods of time. The details are as follows:
Residential service will not be discontinued for non-payment of a bill in the event of a serious illness which would be aggravated by having the gas service disconnected, provided you notify SCANA Energy of this condition prior to disconnection.
The notice must be written, or oral with a written notice to follow within ten (10) days. Within ten (10) days of the initial notice, you must provide a written statement from a physician, county board of health, hospital, or clinic identifying the illness, stating the illness’s expected duration, and certifying that the illness would be aggravated by the disconnection of the service.
The disconnection will be postponed for either the length of the illness or one (1) month from the initial notice, whichever is shorter. The postponement may be renewed for one additional time within (12) months by repeating the notice procedure outlined above.
If there is a dispute regarding the existence of a serious illness, the case may be referred to the Commission for a final determination.
Residential service will not be discontinued for an unpaid bill between November 15 and March 15 if:
If your service is disconnected for non-payment, you can reconnect your service after a reconnection fee of up to $25, in addition to any fees assessed by AGL, a deposit, if applicable, and the total amount you owe, including any charges from previous metering points, is paid in full. Partial payments may be accepted but will not necessarily result in reconnection of service.
Group 2 customers who qualify for Group 1 service may reconnect directly with Group 1 if all debts to SCANA Energy for both Group 1 and Group 2 have been paid.
Regulated Provider customers who qualify for LIHEAP will be reconnected (service reestablished within ten (10) of being disconnected for non-payment) even if the assistance is not sufficient to pay the entire debt.
