Southeast Gas, a natural gas utility based in Andalusia, Alabama, has been named one of the Top 20 Utilities in the Country by Site Selector magazine in their annual Top Utilities Issue. The company, which serves over 32,000 customers across 19 counties in the Southeast, has contributed to over $2 billion in economic development and growth in 2023 alone.
“We are honored to be chosen by Site Selector as one of the Top Utilities in the United States for 2024, which is a testament to our team and the dedication they show to Alabama every day,” said Greg Henderson, President and CEO of Southeast Gas. “We are not just a utility company delivering a service to our communities; we are dedicated citizens with a goal of improving the lives and prospects of Alabamians, and we are thrilled that Site Selector recognizes our hard work and investments.”
Site Selector main selection metrics involve corporate project investment, job creation in the utilities’ service area and dedication to accomplishing projects on behalf of their communities and communities’ employers. This past year, Southeast Gas hosted an educational summit on industrial site development, uniting economic development partners from across the region. This summit, coupled with strategic support, empowered four Southeast Alabama communities to secure nearly one-third of the $30 million AL SEEDs Act Program funding, including the program’s largest single award of $5.7 million.
Established in 1952 with a primary mission to help communities experience industrial growth, Southeast Gas is committed to reliably and efficiently supplying natural gas to customers throughout Southeast Alabama.
