COLONIAL ENERGY, INC.
SAVANNAH, GA

Colonial Energy, Inc., founded in 1996, operates as a prominent natural gas supply company with its headquarters based in Fairfax, Virginia. Specializing in supplying and marketing natural gas to both business customers and utilities across the Eastern United States and Gulf Coast regions, Colonial Energy leverages strategically situated regional offices across the New York Metro area, Houston, Pittsburgh, Clarkesville, Georgia, and gas storage facilities in New York, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana. This strategic positioning facilitates efficient supply of products from Gulf Coast and Appalachian areas to wholesale and retail customers. With a rich history tracing back to 1921 when its founding leader, Raymond M. Démére, returned to Savannah, Georgia with the vision of establishing American Oil Company during America’s burgeoning interest in gasoline-powered vehicles. The company evolved into Colonial Oil by 1933, leading to significant expansions including an independent ocean terminal and storage facility at Savannah’s port which remains one of the most expansive in the United States. Over the decades, Colonial Energy has expanded its operations beyond petroleum distribution; adding subsidiaries like Colonial Towing Company, Georgia Kaolin Terminals, and Compliance Systems among others. This diversification was marked by Colonial's expansion into international markets like Puerto Rico and Europe for supplying petroleum products and gasoline blend solutions in 2005. Today, under the leadership of executive officers such as Christian B. Demere (President) and Clayton D. Cheshire, Colonial Energy reflects a rich legacy with an evolving presence both domestically and internationally, rooted deeply in its strategic business operations dating back to the early 20th century.
