The Municipal Gas Commission of Missouri is a joint action agency with members in three states. Its role is to be an aggregator for the purpose of bulk purchasing of natural gas for resale to its member cities. It also functions as a designated operating agent representing its members with major pipeline companies that transport the commodity, and manages the supply and storage contracts for its members. MGCM's administration of the purchasing, transportation, and storage of natural gas on behalf of its membership reduces the total cost and increases the efficiency for all the members. The 18 Gas Commission members operate community owned natural gas distribution systems in Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. MGCM members range in size from 100 to 75,000 meters.
