Starting March 31, Nashville-area customers of Piedmont Natural Gas will be served by a new energy provider, Spire. As we make this important transition for our companies and our customers, I want to take a moment to say thank you to the Nashville community.
For more than 40 years, Piedmont has proudly been not just an energy provider but a trusted partner, neighbor and supporter of the Nashville region. We are deeply grateful to our customers and the broader community for placing their trust in us for decades and allowing us to be part of their daily lives and growth.
Flaring is a controlled and routine pipeline inspection process, during which Piedmont Natural Gas burns off excess natural gas using a flare stack producing a large flame.
While Piedmont will no longer be your natural gas provider, I want to assure customers that they will be in good hands. Spire shares our core value of safety and a strong commitment to supporting the communities it serves. And Piedmont’s Nashville employees have joined Spire, so while the name on the trucks and uniforms may be different, the same helpful, friendly faces will be providing you with safe, reliable natural gas service every day.
It has been an honor to serve Nashville for more than four decades. Thank you for the trust, partnership and support you’ve shown our employees and our company over the years.
Brian Weisker, President, Piedmont Natural Gas
