Utilities
Electricity
Companies operating in Georgia benefit from competition between three major electric power suppliers. The average electricity cost for an industrial customer in Georgia is about $0.045 (USD) per kilowatt-hour. Heavy power users can negotiate lower rates depending on the amount of electricity consumed, average power demand, peak and demand periods and power interruption.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is readily available and provides roughly 40 percent of the energy used by Georgia industry. The availability of abundant natural gas supplies at competitive prices is a key component of industrial growth in the state. As with electric power rates, gas rates are priced on the basis of consumption, demand, peak periods and supply interruptions.
