Union Gas Limited

What Union Gas Limited does

Union Gas Limited is a Canadian natural gas utility headquartered in Chatham, Ontario, founded in 1911. The company provides natural gas storage, transmission, and distribution services within its Ontario franchise territory, serving residential, commercial, and industrial end-users through a physical pipeline and distribution network. Its underlying technology is the regulated gas utility infrastructure — storage facilities, transmission pipelines, and last-mile distribution mains — rather than a software or digital platform.

The company operates with 5,001-10,000 employees and is led by Steve Baker as President. Based on the provided web data, Union Gas Limited appears operationally integrated with Enbridge Gas, the broader Canadian-based natural gas distribution platform that serves 7.1 million customers across Ontario, Quebec, and U.S. states including Idaho, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, and Wyoming, supported by 303,598 km of gas infrastructure and a workforce of 7,000. Union Gas Limited's website (uniongas.com) routes into the consolidated Enbridge Gas portal, which exposes shared functions including data trust, newsroom, careers, and energy innovation.

Union Gas Limited's business model is that of a regulated gas utility: revenue is generated through distribution and transportation rates approved by provincial regulators, with service territory granted by way of franchise rights that confer monopoly status over a defined geographic area. As such, its growth is closely tied to customer additions within its franchise, rate-base expansion approved through regulatory proceedings, and throughput volume rather than discretionary commercial sales. The available source data does not disclose specific pricing, contract structures, or revenue figures for Union Gas Limited itself, and the precise legal and ownership boundary between Union Gas Limited and the integrated Enbridge Gas entity remains a material data gap.
