NWN

Northwest Natural Holding Company

A gas utility holding company that delivers natural gas to homes and businesses across Oregon and Southwest Washington through its subsidiary NW Natural, and also runs NW Natural Renewables, which turns landfill waste into renewable fuel. It traces its roots to 1859, when pioneers Herman Leonard and John Green founded it as the Portland Gas Light Company to light the city's streets just weeks before Oregon became a state. In 2018 it reorganized into the holding company structure it has today.
