"Georgia Natural Gas received the top honor for its efforts to help low-income older adults reduce their heating costs. In addition to donating $1.1 million to help Atlanta-area low-income seniors weatherize their homes and educate consumers statewide about energy conservation, the company partnered with numerous community organizations to detect inefficiencies in homes, thus attacking the root cause of high heating bills - inefficiency. This ultimately conserves energy and eliminates the need to raise thermostats."
