Deadline

draws near for natural gas marketing selection by

customers

As the Aug.11 deadline draws near,

Atlanta Gas Light Company is leaving no stone unturned in

its drive to ensure the transition of 400,000 customers

to natural gas marketers goes smoothly.

A newly

created team from Atlanta Gas Light is charged with

meeting the most active marketers before Aug.11 to help

pinpoint and resolve any random assignment and customer

service issues that could occur during the transition.

The

formation of the team is just one in a series of actions

Atlanta Gas Light has taken to ensure marketers are

prepared for random assignment and life after

deregulation.

The company

also has held three four-hour training sessions with

natural gas marketers and the Public Service Commission

to review the random assignment process.

Natural gas

deregulation affects Atlanta Gas Light's nearly 1.5

million customers in Georgia. Current Atlanta Gas Light

customers must select a new natural gas marketer by Aug.

11 to avoid having one assigned to them by the Georgia

Public Service Commission. ooo�/
