Natural Gas You Can Count On
At Wilson Energy, our natural gas division is proud to deliver safe, reliable, and affordable natural gas to the citizens of Wilson and surrounding communities. As a publicly owned, not-for-profit utility, we work for you—not shareholders—providing exceptional service with accountability and care.
How We Deliver Natural Gas
Our natural gas is sourced on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), primarily gathered from the Gulf of Mexico. It travels through the Transco Pipeline and Piedmont Natural Gas system before arriving in Wilson. We pay transportation fees to ensure its safe and timely delivery.
Gas enters Wilson from multiple delivery points at approximately 600 psi. It is then reduced to around 150 psi and routed through regulator stations across the city. From there, it travels to a regulator station near your neighborhood where the gas is regulated to 45 psi (a few lines are regulated to 75 psi). A small regulator at your gas meter then adjusts the pressure to a safe, usable level for your household.
A final small regulator attached to your gas meter regulates it to a usable pressure for your home.
Award-Winning Excellence
We’re proud to hold a Gold Level SOAR Award from the American Public Gas Association (APGA). This System Operation Achievement Recognition (SOAR) highlights our commitment to safety, system integrity, employee training, and continuous improvement.
