To meet our state’s energy needs and protect the planet, we're making our system more modern. Our Natural Gas Delivery Plan is a 10-year road map to a system that’s even more safe, reliable, affordable and clean.

We're always making improvements and upgrades to your natural gas service. This is to ensure the integrity of our system—all 30,000 miles of it. Recently we've done infrastructure replacements across the state, upgrades to compressor and pressure regulation facilities, and expansions to accommodate new business and residential customer growth. It’s all to make sure you have the most reliable and safe service possible.

Most of the natural gas we use comes from outside of Michigan, like the Gulf Coast, Texas and Kansas. It’s a long trek from the well to your home, with many stops and pressure changes along the way. Then there’s the matter of odorizing so that it's very obvious in the unlikely event of a leak.

Michigan is made up of two isolated peninsulas. This can make buying natural gas from big producers a little tricky. Especially when they’re located thousands of miles away. That’s where our storage fields come in. We have 15 around the Lower Peninsula. We buy the natural gas you need in the summer when prices are typically lowest and store it. The end result is reliable natural gas service when you need it most and no financial surprises. On average, we’re paying 60% less for natural gas than a decade ago. That means you’re paying less too.

We’re one of the nation’s largest natural gas distribution companies, with deep expertise and a vast infrastructure. How vast? Our natural gas distribution and transmission pipeline network alone runs more than 28,000 miles long. Keeping it in tip-top shape requires constant vigilance. We’re always making improvements and upgrades to make sure you have the safest, most efficient natural gas service. We’re spending about $1 billion in improvements over the next few years to make sure you get the most out of your energy dollar. Take a look at some of our latest projects here.
