businesses nationwide.
Yankee Energy and Yankee Gas are predominantly intrastate in
character.

approximately 178,000 residential, commercial and industrial
users in Connecticut. Its service territory consists of 67
cities and towns, and covers approximately 2,200 square miles,
all in Connecticut.

lines and 178,625 active meters for customer use, all located in
Connecticut. Yankee Gas also owns various propane facilities and
