NJR

New Jersey Resources Corporation

A diversified energy holding company that pipes natural gas to hundreds of thousands of people across six New Jersey counties, while also owning commercial solar farms in several states and underground natural gas storage. It traces its roots to the County Gas Company, founded in 1922 in Highlands, New Jersey, which made "town gas" from coal; it became New Jersey Natural Gas in 1952. Its Leaf River storage site in Mississippi uses salt-dome caverns created by dissolving underground salt with water.
