We’re Number One! The Georgia Public Service (PSC) Commission published their Georgia Residential Electric Rate Survey report for the summer months of 2007. The schedules of this report list the cost of electricity at various consumption levels for residential customers of the Investor-Owned Utility, the Electric Membership Corporations and the Municipal Electric Utilities in Georgia. The costs are based on the rates that were in effect during the month of July 2007, and includes fuel cost. This information is posted on the Georgia Public Service Commission’s website at http://www.psc.state.ga.us/electric/surveys/residentialrs.asp Rate information for previous years (winter and summer) are also available for review. The Fort Valley Utility Commission (FVUC) ranked as follows: 2000 kWh: Lowest out of 93 providers 1500 kWh: Lowest out of 94 providers 1000 kWh: Lowest out of 89 providers 500 kWh: 2nd lowest out of 85 providers In addition, FVUC has the lowest natural gas rate of all of the Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia’s cities on the Southern Natural Gas Pipeline. CALL BEFORE YOU DIG When you plan to dig anywhere, buried gas piping should be located in advance and all digging should be carefully done by hand in the vicinity of the pipe. New rules in Georgia require contact with the Utility Protection Center, 1-800-282-7411, three days in advance of digging in order that all underground utilities and cable may be located. This is a free service. For Frequently Asked Questions, visit www.digline.com/faq.htm.
