APGA History Welcome to American Public Gas Association! APGA is a nonprofit trade organization representing America's publicly owned natural gas local distribution companies (LDCs). APGA represents the interests of public gas before Congress, federal agencies and other energy-related stakeholders by developing regulatory and legislative policies that further the goals of our members. In addition, APGA organizes meetings, seminars, and workshops with a specific goal to improve the reliability, operational efficiency, and regulatory environment in which public gas systems operate. Through APGA, public gas systems work together to keep our members reliably informed about new developments in safety, public policy, operations, technology, and the marketplace that could affect the communities and consumers they serve. The Founding of APGA Between 1940 and 1965, hundreds of communities began operating a gas utility to serve their citizens and commercial establishments. There are now over 950 total public gas systems serving over 5 million customers. These communities quickly recognized the need to have an organization that represented them at the national level. The American Public Gas Association was formed to satisfy this important advocacy in 1961 by 14 publicly owned gas systems. Today the membership encompasses most of America's public gas systems, numbering over 687 members in 36 states. updated 1/17/08
