Reliability: We’re There When You Need Us
- Weathering Our Storms: Our natural gas travels safely through underground pipelines, protected from harsh West Virginia ice storms, high winds, and falling trees that often cause power outages. While the electric grid can be vulnerable, our underground system ensures a dependable flow of energy to keep your home warm and appliances running.
- Investing in Dependability (PREP): We're constantly working to make our system even safer and more reliable through our Pipeline Replacement and Expansion Program (PREP). Since 2016, PREP has been upgrading older pipes with modern, durable materials like coated steel and advanced plastics. This ongoing investment enhances safety, minimizes leaks, and ensures you have the energy you need year after year.
- Secure Local Supply: Because West Virginia has vast natural gas resources, our supply is dependable. Hope Gas strengthens this reliability by investing in local pipelines and storage connections, ensuring the energy you need is always close at hand.
