The Public Service Commission is issuing this monthly Gas Marketer Scorecard as a service to
natural gas consumers in the State of Georgia and in response to consumer requests for this information. The
scorecard reflects the number of complaints and general questions about the marketers received by the PSC
during the month in three categories: Billing, Service, and Deceptive Marketing.
Please keep in mind that the gas marketer may not be at
fault for some of these complaints. Since a large number of allegations are still being investigated, the Commission
does not know whether the complaints are legitimate at this point in time. For this reason, you should use this information
in conjunction with other resources available to you in deciding which marketer will best serve your needs. With better
informed consumers, Georgia's competitive natural gas market will be more robust and marketing abuses will occur less
frequently.
