About APGA



APGA is the only not-for-profit 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 stay reliably informed about new developments in safety, public policy, operations, technology, and the marketplace that could affect the communities and consumers they serve.


About Our Events

APGA offers an annual Operations Conference in the Fall to better serve the municipal utility industry by diving deep into the technical aspects of running a gas utility.

APGA meets four times a year with its committees, subcommittees and task forces comprised of volunteer members to do APGA's most important work. APGA aligns these quarterly meetings with conferences on various topics aimed at increasing the knowledge and skills of municipal natural gas professionals across the nation.
