Item 8.01 Other Events
 
On October 27, 2010, AGL Resources Inc. issued a press release announcing that the Georgia Public Service Commission (“PSC”) voted today on the rate case petition filed by Atlanta Gas Light Company (“AGLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AGL Resources, Inc.  The Final Order approved an increase of approximately $26.7 million in base rate revenues.  This increase, offset by approved rate adjustments, will increase the average annual residential customer gas bill by approximately 1%.  The new rates will become effective in November 2010 and will be reflected in AGLC’s base rate charges assessed to customers by their gas marketer.  We expect a final written order to be issued within the next 30 days, at which time parties to the case have 10 days to file for reconsideration of the decision with the PSC.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
