Atlanta Gas Light’s Piedmont Enhancement Project slated to finish ahead of schedule

Project designed to enhance and expand natural gas infrastructure in Buckhead area

ATLANTA – May 31, 2022 – Atlanta Gas Light’s Piedmont Enhancement Project is on track to be complete by the end of 2022, six months ahead of schedule.  The project, which began last summer, includes the replacement of natural gas mains and service lines in the Buckhead area with newer, more advanced pipeline. It is a part of Atlanta Gas Light’s commitment to provide clean, safe, reliable and affordable natural gas to the communities it serves.

“Our team is working diligently and safely to complete this project ahead of schedule,” said Pedro Cherry, president and CEO of Atlanta Gas Light. “I am proud of the team’s continued commitment to keep our customers and communities safe and well-informed throughout this project. I am extremely grateful for the patience and support that the Buckhead community has given us.”

The Piedmont Enhancement Project will provide more resilient infrastructure, support for the increasing demand from residential and commercial customers as well as bring a greater system capacity to this high-growth corridor. It will also allow homes and businesses in the area to have reliable access to this energy source to help support jobs, development and the local economy.

Crews will soon begin restoring the areas impacted by the project work. Work is currently underway on the regulator station, which is designed to help protect the pipeline system. As with all Atlanta Gas Light projects, safety is our top priority. Crews make every effort to minimize inconveniences to residents and businesses along the route.

Atlanta Gas Light’s goal throughout the project is to ensure the community is well-informed on its progress. Community members with questions are encouraged to contact Atlanta Gas Light via the project line (404-584-3145) or email address (PiedmontEnhancement@southernco.com). Information is also available on the Piedmont Enhancement Project’s website and Twitter.
