LPG for Housing Developments
Off-grid fuel with on-grid reliability
LPG for new build homes
As more housing developments are built off the mains gas grid, individual LPG bulk tanks or metered estates are a popular and affordable solution for your end-users.
Whether you’re a builder, housing developer, local council representative or housing association, we’ll work with you to install an off-grid gas system that’s tailored to meet your needs, providing LPG for housing developments.
It doesn’t matter if you’re building one new home or a new estate of 150 homes; LPG is the right energy solution for you.
What is a metered estate?
A metered estate is where LPG is piped directly to individual homes from a centralised bulk storage tank (or tanks).
This is installed either above or discreetly below ground, and provides a continuous, supply of energy to homes for heating, cooking and hot water. Each property is then fitted with its own domestic smart gas meter, so residents can be billed based on actual readings, rather than estimates.
They allow off-grid housing developments to operate just as though they were connected to mains gas – providing residents with a reliable, uninterrupted supply along with reduced energy costs and carbon emissions.
Bulk LPG tanks
Bulk LPG tanks are available as above ground and underground solutions, providing the ultimate flexibility to your off-grid homes.

The process…
Installing communal Flogas LPG hubs was the perfect solution. It meant we could provide a continuous supply of energy to meet all the homes’ heating, cooking and hot water needs – all from one centralised storage facility. It also allowed each home to have its own smart gas meter, so residents could be billed based on actual readings, rather than estimates.
