Distributes natural gas and electricity and operates gas transmission networks across the Mid-Atlantic and Florida, alongside propane, Ohio midstream, mobile gas transport, and contracted power generation. Regulated utility and pipeline operations anchor earnings, with rates and investment recovery governed by state commissions and FERC.
Distributes natural gas and electricity and transports natural gas through regulated networks spanning the Delmarva Peninsula and Florida. Florida Public Utilities, Florida City Gas, Delmarva Natural Gas, Eastern Shore Natural Gas, and Peninsula Pipeline form the core, while expansion work concentrates on pipeline capacity, system reliability, and customer connections—particularly in Florida.
Balances that regulated base with Sharp Energy propane distribution, Aspire Energy’s Ohio gathering and supply network, Eight Flags’ combined heat-and-power plant, and Marlin Gas Services’ nationwide mobile CNG, LNG, and RNG solutions. Renewable-gas projects extend the same delivery expertise into waste-derived fuel. Earnings remain anchored in regulated operations, whose customer rates and investment recovery depend on state commissions and, for Eastern Shore, FERC.
