Reliability You Can Trust
We are committed to a modern, resilient energy grid. Through our multi-year infrastructure investment programs, we ensure your service is reliable and prepared for any challenge—natural or man-made.
Pipe Modernization: According to the American Gas Association, America’s natural gas utilities invest $37 billion each year in enhancing the safety of natural gas distribution and transmission systems. We are currently replacing 250 miles of aging pipe across the South Jersey Gas system. In fact, South Jersey Gas and Elizabethtown Gas, combined, have about 19,200 miles of pipe in service. That’s enough pipe to go from New York to Los Angeles about 7 times.- Enhanced Reliability: We’ve spent years investing in our infrastructure for severe and cold weather, and our response has demonstrated the importance of making those investments. We have been able to meet that demand during these events due to investments in our modernized gas system, robust operational planning, and dedicated field personnel.
- Dedicated Frontline Heroes: Our teams serve as frontline heroes who work around the clock in harsh winter weather, providing rapid, efficient leak repairs when our customers need them most. These crews are members of the very communities they serve—neighbors helping neighbors—restoring not just service, but peace of mind. In fact, during the recent cold snap, and due to infrastructure upgrades such as the New Sentury Pump Station, the McKee City LNG Facility, and the replacement of vintage and low pressure, cast iron facilities, our crews responded to a record-breaking demand during that period without any major outages reported.
- Economic Growth: Our investments strengthen local economies and modernize New Jersey’s energy infrastructure for the next generation.
- Committed to Safety: Safety is top of mind in everything we do. We don't just follow rules; we foster a culture where every one of our 1,200 employees is responsible for the well-being of our customers.
Pillar of the Community
At SJI, we do more than maintain pipes; we support the people who live alongside them. As a committed community partner, we provide vital funding and volunteer hours to organizations delivering critical support to those in need.
Annual Giving Campaign: Our ongoing commitment to giving back ensures local programs have the resources they need to thrive. Last year alone, SJI and our dedicated employees donated over $325,000 to local non-profits.- Direct Impact: Surpassing the $1 million mark in total contributions, South Jersey Gas and Elizabethtown Gas exceeded NJBPU requirements by donating $500,000 to SHARES for energy assistance and raised significant funds for the American Heart Association and regional hospital foundations. The company provided over $53,000 in scholarships through various New Jersey educational foundations and supported local Chambers of Commerce. The talent attraction team also fostered a culture of learning and development in the community by attending 24 career fairs and hosting diverse internship programs in partnership with local schools.
- Volunteer Spirit: Our team contributes countless hours to statewide and regional organizations, fostering a stronger New Jersey. Last year, our Employee Resource Groups and employee volunteers completed over 3,000 volunteer hours.
- Community Engagement: Over the last five years, our Customer Outreach Team has hosted more than 400 events, working tirelessly to support our communities by providing essential utility assistance information and program benefits.
