Flogas Britain

What Flogas Britain does

Flogas Britain Ltd. is one of the largest distributors of off-grid energy in the United Kingdom, operating since 1984 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DCC plc's DCC Energy division. The company supplies liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) — propane and butane — in bulk tanks and refillable cylinders (2kg through 47kg) to UK households that are not connected to the mains gas grid, alongside commercial customers in hospitality, agriculture, manufacturing, forklift logistics, distilling, and aggregates. Infrastructure comprises two LPG storage terminals (Avonmouth and Teesside), a National Training Academy in Bristol, and a depot and stockist network of more than 56 locations across the UK.

The product portfolio has broadened beyond core LPG to include LNG, BioLPG and Bio LNG, LPG-powered standby generators (extended through the November 2023 acquisition of Glasgow-based DTGen, which added combined heat and power systems), autogas for vehicles, medical gas, plus emerging solar and heat pump offerings aligned to a publicly stated 2040 100%-renewable supply target. Telemetry-enabled bulk tanks allow remote level monitoring and automatic replenishment scheduling. The subsidiary Protech provides HVAC, maintenance, water management, and energy solutions for commercial buildings.

Revenue is generated through three streams: subscription home LPG supply billed monthly on quote-based pricing, custom multi-year commercial energy contracts billed annually, and unit-priced cylinder, accessory and heater sales via an e-commerce shop, depots and stockists. The go-to-market combines a direct field-sales force for commercial accounts, a website-based quote engine for households, an in-house customer experience centre, and third-party stockists. Reporting is consolidated within DCC plc's Energy segment; Flogas Britain itself does not publicly disclose revenue.
