Steps to Advance Virginia's Energy

The Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (SAVE) is our company's modernization program aimed at renewing our existing natural gas infrastructure — enhancing the integrity, reliability and safety of our pipeline system. Through our SAVE projects, we replace aging, older pipes with new polyethylene plastic pipes that are less expensive to maintain, more durable and reduce our methane emissions.

Since the SAVE program’s inception in 2012, Virginia Natural Gas has successfully replaced 100% of low-pressure pipeline from our natural gas system — upgrading over 471 miles of older aging pipes with more modern pipes. As a result of our SAVE projects alone, we have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by more than 27% from 2012 to 2019. Our SAVE efforts are an extension of our commitment and dedication to providing best-in-class natural gas service, helping us fuel forward into the future.
