PORTLAND, Maine — Unitil has opened a larger natural gas operations center in Maine as it continues to experience business growth.
The utility has grown its customer base in the state by 2 to 3 percent annually since purchasing Northern Utilities in 2008. Since then, Unitil has increased staff at its Unitil Portland location by about 35 percent.
The increased square footage and modern facilities are an integral part of Unitil's efforts to improve underground gas line infrastructure in the Portland area.
Unitil — based in Hampton, New Hampshire — also has operations in Massachusetts.
