Over a Century of Service

Cutting-edge energy services.

Founded in 1904, John Ray & Sons began as an ice delivery company. Over the past century, the business expanded its offerings to include coal, wood, kerosene, and home heating oil for customers throughout New York’s Greater Capital Region.

Kenneth J. Ray joined the family business in 1975, launching a service division and adding gasoline, diesel, and retail propane to the company’s portfolio. He succeeded to ownership and led the company through a period of strategic growth.

The retail heating oil, propane, and diesel divisions were later divested as part of a carefully considered strategic move that allowed the company to focus on its midstream propane operations and premium gasoline division. This transition led to the formation of Ray Energy Corp.

A careful, strategic decision was made to divest the retail business and focus solely on midstream propane and wholesale gasoline operations, forming Ray Energy Corp. This decision allowed the company to concentrate on high-value supply operations.

Today, in the fourth generation, Justin and John Ray have added advanced supply and logistics expertise, further strengthening Ray Energy’s management of pipeline, rail, and marine propane sources, as well as its in-house delivery logistics for industrial and wholesale customers. These strategies help clients ensure a reliable, timely supply.

Over 120 years later, the Ray family continues to uphold its commitment to reliable supply. Ray Energy continues the Ray family tradition of dependable delivery, outstanding service, and customer satisfaction.

The company remains committed to innovative energy solutions and advancing new technologies in the energy sector.
