Natural gas distributors are companies that transport and deliver natural gas to homes, businesses, and industries. They operate pipelines and infrastructure to ensure a steady supply of gas, which is used for heating, cooking, and generating electricity. These distributors play a crucial role in the energy sector by connecting natural gas producers with consumers. In many regions, natural gas distributors are regulated by government agencies to ensure safety and fair pricing. They may also provide customer service, billing, and maintenance support. Some well-known natural gas distributors include Consolidated Edison and Dominion Energy, which serve millions of customers across the United States.
