Fax: 404/577-6663 · www.gmanet.com January 12, 1999 MEMO R.A1'ID UM TO: City Managers/Clerks, of Cities Served by Atlanta Gas Light James A. Calvin, Executive Director)~ FROM: SUBJECT: GlVIA's Gas Aggregation Service . . ." ~. ','~" .:; . GMA's Gas Aggregation Service is off to a great start. In the past three weeks, more than 70 cities have joined the program. We have also been answering questions regarding the service from many cities, so I thought it might be helpful to share the answers to some of the most common ones: ""- .~ . ~, %0 will fix nine leaks and read meters if we ioin the'sendce? Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) will continue to deliver gas and provide all field services, such as installing and reading meters. For any emergencies, you will continue to contact AGL. SCAJ."TA Energy wIarketing, Inc. will deliver the gas to AGL to deliver to you. You will only receive one bill, which will be from SCA1~A. On the bill will be a number to contact AGL for field service and emergency issues, and a number to contact SC.A.NA for pricing and billing questions. Is there a reason to act auicklv? Cities use as much as 40% of their natUral gas for the year from Febnl:ary through April. If you sign up by January 20, we will be able to switch your service beginning February 1, saving you much more money than you will save by switching at a later date. Is there a certain date bv which I have to choose a marketer? Atlanta Gas Light will eventually no longer sell gas. The Public Service Commission has divided the state into nine service areas. Once 33% of customers in a service area have chosen a gas marketer, and 18% of customers have chosen a marketer other than an AGL- affiliate, the remaining AGL customers in that service area will be assi!IDed to a marketer - - 100 days later. A d v 0 cae y 5 e r v c e Innovat o n . ..'... . \.... ..; What is the price for the Q'as? There are two parts to your gas bill: one is a distribution charge and the other is a consumption charge. Regardless of which marketer you choose, the distribution charge should be the same, because the distribution part of your gas service has not been deregulated. You can find out what your distribution charge will be by looking at the "Base Charge" line on your last Atlanta Gas Light bill. The consumption charge is based on how much gas you use. Under our aggregated agreement, you will pay a price tied to the NYNlEX Gas Futures Index, which is a futures contract index traded on the New York t-.I!ercantile Exchange. The price will be between " .6.3~ and 8.3~ above the NYNfEX index, depending on your geographic location. Your price for January would have been between 24~ and 26~ per thermo For comparison purposes, Atlanta Gas Light's price per therm was 50~ - 60~ in December. What is the term of the contract? The contract will run from the date that gas service is switched to SCA1~A through December 31, 1999. Are vou offering a special deal to government emplovees at home or citizens? We're working on it! Ifwe are able to arrange a special deal for employees and citizens, we will let you know as soon as possible. What do I have to do to si m up? If you have already provided us account data, sign a Gas Aggregation Service Confirmation Form, verify the accuracy of the account data we have provided you, and fax the confirmation form to Giv!A at (404) 420-1656. If you have not previously provided account data, sign a Gas Aggregation Service Confirmation Form and complete an Account Data Form and fa"X them both to GMA at (404) 420-1656. Who should I call if I have questions? Call Don Schanding, Steve Durden or Lisa Modlin of the GivfA staff at (404) 688-0472.
