Energy West

1 1st Avenue South, Great Falls, Montana, United States | Natural Gas

Energy West is a subsidary of Gas Natural Inc.  Gas Natural Inc. (NYSE MKT: EGAS), a holding company, distributes and sells natural gas to end-use residential, commercial and industrial customers. It distributes approximately 26 billion cubic feet of natural gas to approximately 67,000 customers through regulated utilities operating in Montana, Ohio, Maine, and North Carolina. The Company’s other operations include natural gas production and natural gas marketing. The Company's Montana public utility was originally incorporated in 1909. 

Gas Natural‘s strategy for growth is to expand throughput, particularly in the Maine and North Carolina markets, while looking for acquisitions that are either adjacent to its existing utilities or in under saturated markets. The company’s common stock currently trades on the NYSE MKT under the ticker symbol “EGAS.”

ENERGY WEST Inc began serving customers as the Great Falls Gas Company in 1909 when gas lights served by the utility were installed in the original town site of Great Falls. Gas supplies became more plentiful with the completion of a natural gas pipeline in 1928. Residential customers welcomed the opportunity to replace their dirty and inefficient coal furnaces with natural gas for heating their homes.

The Company continued to serve the growing young city over the years. In the 1970's, Great Falls Gas began to implement new conservation services as the nation and its people became more energy conscious. Energy audits, low interest loans and installation of insulation become regular services.

In 1983, Great Falls Gas begain a new era when it moved into larger office space in the remodeled Great Northern Railroad depot building. Offices for the original utility and its reorganized parent, ENERGY WEST, remain in this building today

In 1993, the corporation adopted the name ENERGY WEST to more clearly reflect an organization operating utilties and propane sales businesses in three states.
