Securing Britain’s Energy

Gas is an essential part of a secure energy supply in Britain and will continue to play a vital role in the energy system for decades to come. More than ever, we need the security that gas brings: to keep the lights on, businesses running and to protect jobs. National Gas provides that security.

 

We are responsible for transporting gas to power stations, major industries, storage facilities, more than half a million businesses and 23 million homes through nearly 5,000 miles of pipes across Britain.

We are also looking to the future. National Gas is working to deliver a hydrogen network across Britain – taking this low-carbon gas to where it’s needed, including power stations and major industrial businesses that cannot otherwise decarbonise their operations.

National Gas is the backbone of Britain’s energy system.

National Gas is the backbone of Britain’s energy system.

We transport gas throughout Great Britain, repair and maintain gas pipelines, and manage the meters that measure consumption for millions of homes and businesses. Our nationally important infrastructure and operations help to keep the lights on, fuel businesses and keep homes warm.

National Gas Transmission owns, operates and maintains the gas National Transmission System (NTS), comprising nearly 5,000 miles of high-pressure pipelines and associated assets, including a fleet of more than 60 gas compressors. National Gas Metering maintains and oversees millions of metering assets across Great Britain – covering connection, installation, management and maintenance. National Gas Services is the UK's trusted authority in pipeline repair, maintenance and intervention – carrying out planned and emergency interventions across the gas network.

The Future of Energy

Natural gas and low-carbon gases such as hydrogen, alongside Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), will play an important role in the UK’s transition to a sustainable, net-zero energy system. Find out how National Gas is leading efforts to deliver energy security and build a clean energy future for the UK.
