Description: AGL Resources Inc. is an energy services holding company with principal business in the distribution of natural gas. The company is also involved in various related businesses, including retail natural gas marketing to end-use customers; natural gas asset management and related logistics activities for its own utilities, as well as for nonaffiliated companies; natural gas storage arbitrage and related activities; and the development and operation of high-deliverability underground natural gas storage assets. The company manages these businesses through four operating segments: distribution operations, retail energy operations, wholesale services and energy investments. Agencies that are a part of the distribution operations segment approve natural gas rates which are designed to provide the company with the opportunity to generate revenues. The retail energy operations segment, which consists of SouthStar, uses risk management tools to mitigate potential weather impacts. The wholesale services segment has greater opportunity to capture operating margin due to price volatility because of extreme weather. The energy investments segment's primary activity is the natural gas storage business, which develops, acquires and operates high-deliverability salt-dome storage assets in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. AGL Resources operates in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, Tennessee and Virginia. More
