The
Intermountain Gas Company story began in 1950 when
Nat and Myrtis Campbell read a newspaper article
that piqued their interest in the natural gas
industry. The company was incorporated that year.
After five years of hard work laying the foundation
for a new public utility company, Intermountain Gas
Company received certification from the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission on December 10, 1955. Then, on
December 31, 1955, we connected our first five
customers.
Since then, Intermountain Gas Company has grown
along with Idaho. Today, Intermountain Gas Company
is a natural gas distribution company serving
approximately 305,000 residential, commercial, and
industrial customers in 74 communities in southern
Idaho. Intermountain is a subsidiary of MDU
Resources Group, Inc., a multidemensional natural
resources enterprise traded on the New York Stock
Exchange as "MDU",
www.mdu.com.
Industrial customers account for 43% of
Intermountain Gas Company's sales. Our industrial
customers include potato processors, chemical
producers, fertilizer plants, and electronic
factories, and provide jobs for over 40,000
Idahoans. Commercial customers account for 19% of
sales and residential about 38%.
