What does British Gas do?

British Gas is a leading energy supplier in the UK, providing natural gas and electricity to approximately 10 million homes. With a history dating back over 200 years to the establishment of the Gas Light and Coke Company in 1812, British Gas has evolved significantly. It became a key player in the energy sector through various mergers and nationalization, ultimately privatizing in the 1980s and becoming part of Centrica plc. The company offers essential services for residential and business customers, including gas for heating, cooking, and hot water. British Gas also focuses on sustainability, partnering with organizations like Team GB and ParalympicsGB to promote greener energy solutions. As a dominant dual-fuel provider, it continues to support communities and businesses with reliable energy supply and maintenance services.
