NATURAL GAS SUPPLY
 The City of
Covington natural gas system is municipally owned and was purchased from
the West Tennessee Gas Company in 1959. Management of the natural gas
supply for the City of Covington operates within the guidelines of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). With FERC’s Final Order
636, effective November 1, 1993, the natural gas industry became
completely deregulated.
In 1999, the City of
Covington joined together with other municipalities to form a purchasing
group to secure natural gas supply. Currently, that group operates
under The Tennergy Corporation, Jackson, TN. This purchasing
arrangement enables small systems to gain buying power through larger
volumes, thereby obtaining better prices in the deregulated market
arena.
The City of
Covington natural gas system serves between 3,000-4,000 customers;
residential, commercial, and residential. Covington Gas acts as agent
for gas supply under contractual agreements to industrial end users, or
serves as transporter only.
We strive to be
price competitive, offer flexible services, security of supply, and
market incentives to attract and benefit our customer base.

Hall, 200 W. Washington Avenue, Covington, TN; 901-476-9531.
