Centrica plc is a United Kingdom-based energy services company focused on supplying energy and providing related services to households and businesses. Its principal consumer brand, British Gas, offers electricity and natural gas, home energy management, boiler and heating services, and maintenance solutions. Centrica also provides connected-home products and services through offerings associated with the British Gas and Hive brands.
Through its business operations, Centrica participates in energy supply, energy trading, power generation, and customer-focused energy solutions. The company serves residential and commercial customers primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Its Irish operations include Bord Gáis Energy, which supplies energy and provides related services to customers in Ireland.
Centrica was created in 1997 following the demerger of the former British Gas plc, while the international exploration and production business became BG Group. The company has since concentrated on energy supply, services, and solutions, with a focus on helping customers manage heating, electricity use, and the transition to lower-carbon energy.
