National Gas Energy Forum (NGEF)
The National Gas Energy Forum (NGEF) is open to all energy stakeholders - a key event to share insights, operational information, collaborate and plan for the future of the UK energy sector.
As the owner and operator of Britain's critical gas infrastructure, National Gas plays a key role in securing Britain’s energy and supporting the transition to net zero.
Through the forum we connect industry leaders, regulators and government to collaborate and align priorities to deliver the Britain’s long term energy goals.
We hold two types of events throughout the year, designed to keep stakeholders informed and connected:
Hybrid Events
The forum features strategic insights from industry, government, energy markets and research sharing updates on UK energy policy, regulation, market structure and clean power. We present key highlights from National Gas including information on operational performance, system operator updates and events on the National Transmission System (NTS).
Online Events
Our online event provides updates from National Gas including progress on major projects, innovations and system operator updates. The agenda varies for each forum, reflecting operational events, regulatory changes, topical developments and seasonal issues.
