Exciting news is brewing in the propane industry as United Energy Trading and Superior Fuel join forces in a groundbreaking throughput agreement. The partnership centers around a cutting-edge terminal constructed in 2021, catering to customers in northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. Boasting four colossal 80,000-gallon propane storage tanks and ample track capacity, this state-of-the-art facility can effortlessly accommodate surges in volumes during peak demand periods. Its strategic location near a major interchange allows for cost-effective rail supply sourced from multiple Class 1 carriers, a feature that truly sets it apart, according to UET.
Superior Fuel Co.’s President, Ryan Gunderson, couldn’t contain his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “Superior Fuel is thrilled to join forces with United Energy at our esteemed rail terminal in Duluth. Initially, we built this terminal to address our supply needs while providing an additional supply location for fellow propane marketers in northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. After two successful years of operation, we felt confident expanding volumes by partnering with a wholesaler. Meeting with Wade and Shane from United Energy Trading showed that we shared common values and visions, making them an ideal fit for our market.”
