Operational Forum
Get the latest insights and operational updates on the gas transmission system.
NOTE: The Operational Forum has become the National Gas Energy Forum (NGEF).
Please visit our new NGEF page to learn about the expanded scope of this event – engaging more industry stakeholders to align on the future of energy and the journey to net zero.
National Gas holds regular Operational Forum meetings online and in-person throughout the year, to provide helpful insights and information about operational performance and events on the National Transmission System (NTS). The forum is open to anyone with an interest in the UK gas transmission system, from shippers and power station operators to industrial customers and gas consumers of all sizes.
The forum agenda varies every month, reflecting operational events, regulatory changes, topical issues and seasonal matters throughout the gas year.
In 2024, we introduced themed forums, which are hybrid events held online and in person. These are in addition to our regular online-only events.
