South Jersey Gas (SJG) delivers natural gas to approximately 395,000 customers in southernmost New Jersey. SJG's fleet primarily consists of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. With 13 stations already available in its territory, SJG was planning to build one more. The GIS department was contacted to see if geographic information system (GIS) technology could help to examine the business case. The GIS team leveraged data from Geotab, SJG's fleet management software, and other sources were combined for visualization and analysis. The study conducted using ArcGIS Pro software revealed that SJG already had ample coverage throughout its service territory. The proposed additional fueling station was unneeded. Upon receiving the study heat map of results for review, senior management was able to quickly understand the study's finding. This resulted in a decision not to build an additional station, saving the utility several million dollars.
