Mobile Gas, based in Mobile, Alabama, was the leading natural gas provider along Alabama's coast, catering to 89,000 residential and commercial customers. Founded in 1836 initially to supply gas lighting in Mobile, the company distributed gas services in locations including Mobile, Prichard, Saraland, Satsuma, Semmes, Bayou La Batre, Creola, Mt. Vernon, Spanish Fort, and Loxley. Its infrastructure comprised 2,250 miles of pipelines alongside 46 miles of transmission lines.
As a division of Sempra U.S. Gas & Power, Mobile Gas was one of two units under this umbrella. In 2016, Sempra divested EnergySouth Inc., the parent company of Mobile Gas, selling it to Spire Inc based in St. Louis for $334 million; this transaction also included Willmut Gas. Spire Inc., a publicly listed firm and successor to The Laclede Group—an original Dow Jones Industrial Average member—provides service to more than 1.7 million customers across Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri. Its holdings encompass Missouri Gas Energy, Alabama Gas Corporation, Energy South, Mobile Gas, and Willmut Gas.
Following integration into Spire Inc., the territory formerly served by Mobile Gas is now operated under the name Spire Gulf Coast Inc., which marks the company's earliest gas distribution network.
