About Chesapeake Utilities

Chesapeake Utilities delivers essential energy to homes and businesses. They provide natural gas, electricity, and propane to several states. These services meet the daily heating and power needs of customers.

Pipelines, Power, and Propane

  • Regulated Energy Distribution: Delivers natural gas and electricity to customers in Delaware, Maryland, and Florida; generated $249 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2026.
  • Unregulated Propane: Supplies propane gas to residents and businesses across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions.
