About Unitil

Unitil delivers electricity and natural gas to homes and businesses. The company keeps lights on and heaters running across New England. Its services provide essential energy to over 215,000 local customers.

What Unitil Delivers

  • Electric Distribution: Delivers power to 110,100 customers in New Hampshire and Massachusetts; accounts for 44% of 2025 revenue.
  • Gas Distribution: Provides natural gas to 105,000 customers across three New England states; makes up 56% of 2025 revenue.
  • Gas Transmission: Operates 85 miles of underground pipeline regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
  • Energy Services: Offers expert advice and real estate management through specialized non-regulated subsidiaries.

Growing the Service Area

  • Acquired Bangor Natural Gas Company on January 31, 2025, for $71.4 million to expand in central Maine.
  • Purchased Maine Natural Gas Corporation on October 31, 2025, for $86 million from Avangrid.
  • Signed a deal on May 6, 2025, to buy the Aquarion Companies to enter the water utility sector.
  • Launched a solar energy facility in Kingston, New Hampshire, which began operating in May 2025.

Stable Systems and Smart Rules

The company uses Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)—a system for remote monitoring—to manage its utility networks. Revenue decoupling—a regulatory method—separates distribution income from energy sales volume to help stabilize financial results.

A Look at the Books

  • Revenue reached $161.5 million in Q4 2025, up 26.7% from the previous year.
  • Net income hit $19 million in Q4 2025, a 21.8% increase year-over-year.
  • Operating income rose to $34.7 million in Q4 2025, up 23% from Q4 2024.
  • Free cash flow fell to -$36.3 million in Q4 2025, which deepened and worsened from the prior year.

Bottom Line

Unitil has evolved into a multi-state utility leader through focused acquisitions in the New England region. Its mix of electric, gas, and solar assets creates a diverse foundation for essential service delivery.
