October 10, 2005

UNION, N.J., Oct. 10, 2005 – Elizabethtown Gas, a subsidiary of AGL Resources (NYSE: ATG), this week will host two energy information meetings for elected and community officials to discuss anticipated high prices, conservation measures and energy assistance programs to help their constituents this winter.

“We’re all concerned about high energy prices,” said Don Carter, vice president of Elizabethtown Gas. “Getting everyone together to discuss what we can do to manage costs, encourage conservation and provide energy assistance should help us to work together to provide customers the assistance they need to manage their energy bills this winter.

“We’re also pleased to be able to donate $100,000 to five community agencies to support their energy assistance efforts,” he added.

The $100,000 in energy assistance grants from Elizabethtown Gas will be presented to the five community action agencies during the meetings.

Each of the following agencies will receive a $20,000 energy assistance grant from Elizabethtown Gas: NORWESCAP serving Hunterdon, Morris, Sussex and Warren counties, PROCEED Inc. serving Union County, the Puerto Rican Action Board (PRAB) serving Middlesex County, as well as United Way 211 and New Jersey SHARES, Inc. serving the state. This is in addition to the $150,000 in grants that Elizabethtown Gas presented to NORWESCAP, PROCEED and the PRAB on March 4, 2005 to help low-income seniors obtain new or refurbished heating systems.

During the energy information meetings, Elizabethtown Gas will provide an overview of natural gas prices and supplies in New Jersey, including what the company is doing to control costs. Payment plans and weatherization improvement benefits that are available to eligible customers will also be discussed. Representatives from the community action agencies will explain local, state and federal energy assistance programs and how they process Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) assistance requests. Attendees will receive energy assistance program material which details the major sources of funding, the programs, the eligibility requirements and a plan of action to increase awareness.

Scheduled in each of the company’s two service areas, the first meeting will be from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at the Holiday Inn at 111 West Main St. in Clinton in the Elizabethtown Gas Northwest Jersey Service Area, which includes Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Morris and Mercer counties.
