About Gas South

Making a Difference for You

At Gas South, weā€™re driven to make a difference for customers, employees and the communities we serveā€”an approach youā€™ll see most simply expressed in our purpose, mission and values below: 

Our Purpose:

To Be A Fuel For GoodĀ® by caring for our customers and employees and elevating our industry and communities.

Our Mission: 

Our mission is to be the energy provider of choice by delivering exceptional value, service and simplicity.

Our Values: 

  • Do What's Right: Lead with integrity, honor commitments and interact openly to build and maintain trust.
  • Own It: Take responsibility and action to deliver the optimal solutions for our customers and organization.
  • Serve Others: Operate through a lens of service to support customers, employees, and our communities.
  • Be Better Together: Embrace the diversity of our people by nurturing inclusion and respect for collective success.
  • Keep Growing: Create a culture of resiliency where we seek opportunities to learn, grow and adapt.

Itā€™s all this that helps our Customer Care Team go that extra mile. Itā€™s why we give 5% of profits back to help support children in need, and itā€™s why our employees are always so eager to volunteer their time to help in charitable efforts. 

As our company grows, so does our impact. Since our 2006 inception, weā€™ve grown steadily to become not only the largest retail natural gas company in Georgia but also the largest in the Southeastern U.S., serving nearly 500,000 residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale customers in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and 11 other states. Gas South is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cobb EMC, one of the countryā€™s largest electric cooperatives. 

We've formed Alliance Partnerships with local governments and utilities across Metro Atlanta, helping customers save on their natural gas and supporting a strong business climate. Gas South prides itself on being the official natural gas provider for the Atlanta Braves and Gas South District

Not only are we committed to our customers, local business and communities, we strive to make a positive environmental impact to support a more sustainable future. In 2021, we launched a new business initiative to support renewable energy projects and have committed to investing $63 million in solar projects by the end of 2024.
