Description: Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. was incorporated in New York in 1950 and began operations in 1951. It is a utility company involved in the transmission and distribution of natural gas. The company divides its business into two reportable business segments: regulated utility and non-utility activities. Through the utility segment, Piedmont distributes natural gas to residential, commercial, industrial and power generation customers, including customers served by municipalities that are wholesale customers. Operations of the non-utility activities segment consist of equity method investments in joint ventures. Operations of both segments are conducted within the United States of America. As of October 2008, the company owned about 2,600 miles of transmission pipelines up to 30 inches in diameter that connected distribution systems with the transmission systems of its pipeline suppliers. Also in that same time period, it distributed natural gas through about 27,900 miles (three-inch equivalent) of distribution mains in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Historically, in 1994, Piedmont merged into a newly formed North Carolina corporation with the same name to change the company's state of incorporation to North Carolina. More
