What is a Community Gas System?
A Community Gas System (CGS) is a propane system that uses the same underground pipeline infrastructure as a natural gas utility. When housing or building needs outpace the development of natural gas pipeline infrastructure, a CGS is often an economically viable alternative for builders and communities seeking to attract new residents.
Community Gas System Infrastructure
All gas tanks are centrally located with buried gas lines — enhancing the appearance of the development. Sharp Energy’s Community Gas Systems are similar to the structure of natural gas systems and are convertible if natural gas becomes available.

Benefits to Builders
What’s in it for you? Community Gas Systems™ (CGS) can help you:
- Build a more attractive, more marketable community.
- Supply propane gas in developments with minimal or no room for individual propane tanks.
- Give customers the energy performance and comfort they want.
- Create a scalable, convenient solution for an entire development including single-family and multifamily homes.
Benefits to Homeowners
Community Gas Systems offer benefits for homeowners:
- The comfort and efficiency of propane gas appliances.
