About MeAberdeen's gas industry dates back to 1824 when the first works were set up at Poynernook. A public supply came in 1824 when, using oil as energy source, the Aberdeen Gas Light Company produced gas to light 242 street lamps. A New Gas Light Company was set up in 1843. Its gasworks were established at Sandilands near the Beach. In 1871 Aberdeen Corporation took over the works and ran it until nationalisation in 1949. Final closure of the city's gasworks came in 1979 when the flow of Natural Gas from the offshore fields became available.
