Building strong foundations to support businesses in the Pacific Northwest.
Since 1859, NW Natural has been a respected energy provider in the Pacific Northwest—a region with strong education, economies and training systems that produce qualified prospects for growing companies. We are uniquely positioned to nurture business innovation and growth in the region we call home, and look forward to continuing to provide safe, reliable and affordable essential services in an environmentally responsible way to the companies and communities we serve.
Safety
Resilient and reliable
Businesses operate safely knowing natural gas is delivered through one of the tightest, most modern pipeline systems in the nation.
Our pipeline system exceeds state and federal pipeline safety regulations. To maintain this safe system, we lead efforts like training first responders and developers, and continue innovating for customer safety every day. Read about our safety measures.
With support from regulators and advocates, we were one of the first gas utilities in the U.S. to replace all cast iron and bare steel pipes with newer materials. Read about our Pipeline Integrity program.
Low carbon energy future
Destination Zero
Our core value of environmental stewardship is a driving force behind everything we do. We believe NW Natural has an important role to play in helping our region move to a low-carbon, renewable energy future in the more resilient and affordable way.
