The Southern's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The electric utility industry in the United States is undergoing changes driven by regulatory, demand, and competitive factors. Competition among retail energy suppliers is influenced by price, availability, technology, service, reliability, and regulatory, political, environmental, and taxation considerations. In Georgia, retail service rights are governed by the Territorial Electric Service Act of 1973, under which the Georgia Public Service Commission assigns service territories to suppliers. Southern Company Gas operates natural gas distribution utilities within exclusive franchise territories, facing no competition from other natural gas distributors. However, it competes with other energy providers, including electric utilities and fuel oil and propane suppliers, in residential, commercial, and industrial markets. Competition primarily occurs during the initial installation phase when customers or builders select energy equipment, with customers generally continuing to use the chosen energy source for the equipment's lifespan. Customer demand for natural gas may be influenced by changes in availability. Competitors mentioned include Mississippi Power and Southern Company Gas.
