About The Gas Company
The Gas Company serves utility and non-utility consumers statewide, and provides engineering and technical support services to developers, government representatives, architects, engineers, contractors, and homeowners to assist them with their energy needs.
The Gas Company produces clean, efficient synthetic natural gas (SNG) on Oahu at its 16.7-million-cubic-foot-capacity manufacturing plant located at Campbell Industrial Park. The SNG plant uses a clean process that is environmentally compatible and utilizes a refinery byproduct that would be shipped out of state if not used by The Gas Company. This displaces the need to import additional barrels of oil.
More than 115,000 consumers are served by The Gas Company. The majority of our customers on Oahu are served by our SNG system which distribute gas directly from the plant through an underground utility system. The SNG system serves businesses and residents from Kapolei to Hawaii Kai.
Utility customers on the Neighbor Islands and areas of Oahu not served by the SNG utility system are served by propane gas, which is piped underground from a central storage site. If pipeline service is unavailable, customers are serviced through delivery of propane, in cylinders or tanks, directly to their business or home.
Nearly 90 percent of The Gas Company's output is consumed by industrial and commercial customers--in particular, Hawaii's vital hotel and restaurant industries. Gas is used for a variety of uses including cooking, water heating, drying and lighting. Some of the emerging uses of gas include propane powered cars & trucks, gas lights, tiki torches and cogeneration systems.
The Gas Company and its over 300 employees are committed to meeting your energy needs.
