ABOUT NGA of Georgia

Our mission is to promote the safe, direct use of natural gas

OBJECTIVES

Natural Gas:

Abundant, Affordable, Clean

Technological advances and an extensive and reliable energy delivery system have made Natural Gas the most dependable and affordable source of clean energy in the U.S.

The U.S. has enough gas supply to meet America’s diverse energy needs for more than 125 years, and these estimates continue to grow annually. Natural Gas is the logical foundational energy for homes, businesses, industry, and transportation.

The growing use of domestic natural gas reduces our dependence on foreign energy sources and strengthens America’s goals of a strong economy, national security, and environmental stewardship. The NGA of Georgia views natural gas as a foundational energy for America’s, and Georgia’s, future energy policies.

Key Objectives:

Educate and Influence

Educate Georgia consumers on the efficiency and environmental benefits of natural gas appliances and applications
Influence energy policies, positioning natural gas as a primary, foundational fuel for future economic growth in Georgia
Impact energy policies affecting Georgia consumers and the direct use of natural gas

The Natural Gas Association of Georgia (NGA of Georgia) was formed in 2015. Made up of natural gas providers, pipeline companies, natural gas appliance manufacturers and marketers, the association’s primary goal is to educate state leaders and industrial, commercial and residential customers on the safe, direct use of natural gas.
