Compugas, Inc., is a Nebraska corporation with headquarters at 4520 S. 36^th St.; Omaha, NE; 68107. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of GRH Electronics, Inc., originally incorporated in 1980. Compugas, Inc., serves as sales and installation agent for GRH’s Compugas line of radio-based energy allocation products. 

GRH Electronics, Inc. designed and patented the Compugas energy allocation system in 1986 and, shortly after that, petitioned Omaha’s customer-owned gas utility Metropolitan Utilities District (MUD) to permit use of Compugas at MUD-served master-metered apartment properties. Following numerous technical discussions, equipment evaluations and rules definitions, in 1987, the MUD Board approved five pilot projects utilizing Compugas equipment in Omaha. Within two years, the MUD board provided general approval for unrestricted Compugas use throughout its service area. Currently, MUD refers customers to GRH Electronics/Compugas for energy allocation services. 

Kenneth Hoberman, president of GRH Electronics, Inc, has served in this capacity since the corporation’s inception. Mr. Hoberman is a 1970 graduate of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln campus, having received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. He has completed postgraduate studies in Chemistry, Engineering and Economics at Creighton and Iowa State Universities. His prior career experience includes engineering and management positions at Northwestern Bell, Corema, Inc., Darcom, Inc.; and ABC Systems, Inc., all in the Omaha area. In the Darcom and ABC positions he worked very closely with Omaha Public Power District, Metropolitan Utilities District, and Northwestern Bell as technology liaison for a U.S. Department of Energy funded remote meter reading project. In 1989 Mr. Hoberman participated with the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM), working at the National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersburg, MD, in drafting guidelines for the US energy allocation industry. Also, in 1989, he was one of four founding members of the National Utilities Allocation Association (NUAA). Over the interval from 1992 to 1994, Mr. Hoberman sat as one of eight voting members on the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Guideline Committee 8P, drafting engineering guidelines for the national energy allocation industry. Mr. Hoberman has provided expert testimony in hearings conducted in Virginia, Maryland, Iowa, Indiana (in absentia), and New Jersey (in absentia) regarding energy allocation systems and Compugas equipment. He currently manages the corporate filings and association funds for the National Utilities Allocation Association (NUAA).
