Propane: An Energy Solution for Prime, Back-Up, and Microgrids

Power for Large-Scale Systems in Commercial Facilities

April 17, 2026

Propane is an ideal energy source for power generation, heating, cooling, tankless water heating, cooking, clothes drying, fireplaces and more. Using propane as an energy source means harnessing an available clean technology to reduce emissions while still meeting energy needs. Propane is abundantly available, and the growth of renewable propane means it can be used for generations to come, reliably helping the U.S. adapt to each new energy transition.
