For the interests of our industry, members, and consumers!
The Southeast Propane Alliance was established in 2021 to promote, protect, and encourage the growth of the LP-Gas industry in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Over the years, these non-profit associations have worked to safeguard the interests of our industry, members, and consumers. The propane industry is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s most widely used fuels in residential, commercial, recreational, and industrial settings. The propane industry plays a significant role in the economies of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia combined, with an estimated economic impact of over $4 billion. These three states collectively account for a total of 687 million gallons of propane.
