Reliable Power for Remote Locations: The Propane Advantage
Reliable Power for Remote Locations: The Propane Advantage
Many vineyards and wineries are located in remote areas where access to reliable electricity is limited. Power outages or inconsistent service can disrupt critical operations, putting crops and production schedules at risk. Propane generators offer an independent and reliable power source, ensuring that vineyards remain operational even during grid failures or extreme weather events.
The Efficiency and Cost Benefits of Propane
Propane generators are known for their fuel efficiency and long runtimes, making them an economical choice for vineyards in off-grid locations. Unlike diesel generators, which require frequent refueling and maintenance, propane burns cleanly with minimal residue buildup. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs while also supporting a more sustainable energy approach.
A Cleaner Energy Solution for Vineyards
Environmental responsibility is a growing priority in the wine industry, and propane is a cleaner-burning alternative to diesel or gasoline. Propane produces fewer emissions, contributing to a lower carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. Additionally, propane storage is safer and more flexible, allowing vineyards to stockpile fuel without the risk of soil contamination or fuel degradation.
Power When and Where It’s Needed
One of propane’s greatest advantages is its versatility. Whether a vineyard requires backup power for emergencies or a primary energy source for off-grid locations, propane generators can be scaled to meet operational needs. They provide peace of mind, knowing that essential winemaking functions—from fermentation temperature control to irrigation systems—will continue uninterrupted.
Conclusion
For vineyards in remote areas, reliable power is essential for maintaining productivity and protecting crops. Propane generators offer a practical, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution to keep vineyard operations running smoothly.

About
Blue Star Gas is enjoying its 80th successful year in business under the management of the third generation of the Stewart family. Paul Stewart initially purchased the business in 1945 and was joined by Bill Stewart in 1954 and Jeff Stewart in 1996. Both Bill and Jeff are active participants in the full-service propane distribution business today.
Humble Beginnings
In 1938, Dwight Knapp, the owner of the Knapp Family Restaurant, installed an underground propane pipeline to provide gas to his restaurant. Over time, Knapp began connecting neighbors in the downtown area to the underground gas system and started selling propane to the general public. As the city grew, so did the underground utility, which became the foundation on which Blue Star Gas was built. In 1945, Paul Stewart purchased the business from the Knapp family while continuing to run his stock brokerage firm of Stewart, Meyerson & Briggs in San Francisco. At that time, the business consisted of just three employees and its one office in Garberville. The underground utility, which is still in service today, is the oldest propane utility service registered with the P.U.C. in the State of California. Blue Star Gas proudly serves many of these founding customers to this day with the industry's finest customer service.
Looking Towards the Future
From these humble beginnings, we have grown to cover a service area of over 70,000 square miles and currently serve 14 unique markets throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, and Arizona. Through developing technologies and improved practices, Blue Star Gas is transforming the industry standard for customer service. For Blue Star Gas and our customers, the best is yet to come.
