Why Natural Gas?
Peoples wants to help you take advantage of all the benefits that natural gas has to offer! There are many reasons to choose natural gas and natural gas appliances.
Upcoming Pipeline Replacement Projects
We want to let you know when we will be in your area for a construction project and what you can expect before, during, and after our pipeline upgrade and renewal work.
Modern Infrastructure is Essential
That’s why Peoples is making serious investments to upgrade almost 4,100 miles of aging pipeline by 2038. In the past decade, we’ve replaced over a thousand miles of pipe, with more, state-of-the-art upgrades to come — to ensure our infrastructure is modernized for safe, reliable delivery of natural gas. That’s Peoples’ commitment to everyone in our region – today, tomorrow and every day moving forward.
We are serious about our commitment
When you’re responsible for delivering essential natural gas safely and reliably to millions of people, you take that seriously.
Investing For Long Term Impacts
Upgrading older pipes helps protect the environment and safely power the homes and businesses in our region, so you can enjoy the benefits of natural gas for generations to come.
What is out of your sight, isn't out of our minds.
As of December 2025, we have replaced approximately 1,700 miles of aged pipeline.
Old pipes can corrode over time.
Every day we safely transport gas through 15,000 miles of pipeline.
One of many examples of a Peoples infrastructure project benefiting Peoples' customers.
Expanding Service
As we modernize our system, we are continuously expanding our reach across Pennsylvania to bring natural gas to homes and businesses that previously lacked access to service.

Making Lives Better Today And Tomorrow
Natural gas continues to be the cleanest traditional fuel and a reliable energy source. We’re investing in new technologies that use our natural gas infrastructure for a cleaner future.
Natural gas efficiency, combined with the growth of renewable energy, has led to energy-related carbon dioxide emissions hitting 30-year lows.
Natural gas releases almost 30% less CO2 than oil and 43% less than coal.
Using the reliable natural gas infrastructure is an important tool in the suite of greenhouse gas emissions reduction options available to the U.S.
