The company could possibly

have customers receiving gas by the end of the year, depending on the

speed of the approval process and completion of the data interface with

AGLC.

Hart added that EMC Natural

Gas, doing business as Coweta-Fayette EMC Natural Gas, will produce easy

to understand bills and simple pricing structures.

"Our competitive price

for gas will include the purchase cost of natural gas, interstate pipeline

charges to move the gas to Georgia and associated reserves to protect

our customers from winter price spikes. Atlanta Gas and Light charges

for gas delivery within Georgia will be passed through exactly as EMC

Natural Gas receives them."

Gas customers will be able

to choose monthly pricing with no contract required. Other potential plans

include fixed pricing that allows consumers to lock in gas prices for

months at a time.

EMC Natural Gas will be governed

County, Elwood Thompson of Coweta County and Alice Mallory of Fayette

County plus three outside members that include Lee Hunter of Coweta County,

Elaine Gaillard of Fayette County and Mark Hall of Fayette County.

Coweta-Fayette EMC provides

electricity and other services to over 61,000 consumers in one of the

nation's fastest-growing areas, including Coweta, Fayette, South Fulton,

Heard, Meriwether, Spalding and Troup counties. The company has worked

hard for over 50 years to keep cost down, charging a fair price for electricity

and providing reliable service.
