Natural Gas Provider throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania

History of Knox Energy

In April of 1998, a group of civic-minded community leaders from Apple Valley Lake formed Knox Energy Cooperative Association, Inc. (Knox Energy). It was created for providing natural gas service to the lake community after many failed attempts to obtain service from other local utility companies. Knox Energy successfully contracted with Utility Pipeline, LTD (UPL) for engineering, construction, and operational services to provide natural gas to local communities. After meetings and discussions with the residents of Apple Valley, service to members on the west side of the lake began in January of 1999.

Knox Energy, under the management of UPL, has successfully brought multiple gas services to more than 23,000 residential and commercial customers throughout 38 counties in Ohio and 9 counties in Pennsylvania.
