Combing A Strong History With An Even Stronger Future.

Florida Public Utilities (FPU) has been providing energy to homes and businesses throughout Florida since 1924. In 2009, Chesapeake Utilities acquired Florida Public Utilities. Chesapeake already operated in Florida as Central Florida Gas. This acquisition expanded Chesapeake’s energy presence throughout the state while providing FPU the opportunity to grow and expand its services. The two Companies share a combined rich history spanning 150 years and our commitment to distributing safe, reliable, fairly priced energy remains unchanged.

Central Florida Gas serves customers in west/central Florida area. For additional information, visit www.cfgas.com.

In August 2010, FPU purchased the natural gas operating assets of Indiantown Gas Company. FPU now serves approximately 700 residential customers and several commercial customers in the Indiantown, Florida area.

FPU has also expanded its reach to serve more customers with propane service. In December 2011, the company purchased Crescent Propane which serves Newberry, Florida and surrounding areas.

Barefoot Bay, a community gas system in Indian River County, is the last of FPU’s propane acquisitions, purchased in February 2012.

On August 21, 2012, FPU was granted a non-exclusive franchise to provide gas distribution services within the City of Okeechobee. The thirty-year Agreement will bring natural gas service to residential and commercial customers. Okeechobee has convenient access to both coasts and all of Central Florida, and the Company looks forward to playing a vital role as an area partner in this community.
