Bryan Batson/Atlanta Gas Light

Atlanta Gas Light provides American, abundant and affordable natural gas efficiently to 1.5 million Georgians. They’ve been a trustworthy source of safe, clean energy — and a constant partner to almost 200 counties they serve throughout Georgia — since they installed the City of Atlanta’s first natural gas streetlights more than 150 years ago.

Today, AGL is the eighth largest natural gas distribution utility in the United States and the largest in the Southeast. In Georgia’s deregulated natural gas market, AGL does not sell natural gas to customers. Instead, AGL operates and maintains the infrastructure that delivers reliable natural gas to customers of certified natural gas marketers.
