Fueling Homes to Feel Like Home (CGC)
These are unprecedented times. With social distancing and self-quarantining in full effect, our daily routines have been altered and our sense of normalcy disrupted.

We continue to serve our customers and communities, so you can continue to keep your home feeling like home.

Answering the call
Based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the U.S. State Department, World Health Organization, our local health department officials and Southern Company Medical Directors, we are taking appropriate precautions to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers while continuing to maintain our business operations.
To keep gas service safe and reliable, there are times when Atlanta Gas Light employees may need to enter customers’ homes and businesses. When they do, they will ask you some questions before entering to ensure they are taking the appropriate precautions. They’ll also request some social distancing while in your home—maintaining a 6-foot distance and not shaking hands—and may wear protective gear, when necessary. Other precautionary measures we’re taking include:
Other precautionary measures we’re making include:
- Utilizing technology to enable most of our employees to work from home—mitigating exposure to peers while continuing our work

- Cancelling all non-essential domestic and international business travel
- Increasing cleaning frequency at company locations and aggressively sanitizing work areas
Giving back to our communities
We are facing medical and economic challenges the likes of which we haven’t seen for generations. At Chattanooga Gas, we are taking immediate action to address the increasing difficulties this global health crisis is creating for those living across our regions.
Chattanooga Gas and Chattanooga Gas Foundation are donating $50,000 to support local nonprofit organizations providing essential services and financial assistance. We are working with organizations across our service territory, including Caring Place and the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, to help lessen the health, community and economic impacts of this pandemic and recent area tornadoes.
Caring for our customers
We know this is a difficult time. And for some, COVID-19 has dramatically affected their source of income and ability to pay bills. Funding continues to be allocated through existing energy assistance programs.
Energy Assistance
“Our primary concern continues to be the safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers and communities. As part of our regular emergency preparedness protocol, we began monitoring the potential threat posed by the coronavirus in January. Based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as other health officials and the Southern Company Medical Directors, this week we began utilizing technology to enable most of our 4,400 employees to work from home – mitigating exposure to peers while sustaining workflow.”
