Our Businesses
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 allow power stations, businesses and millions of homes to access the energy they need.
Our nationally important infrastructure and operations help to keep the lights on, businesses running and homes warm.
We are also proud to lead the way in transforming our national gas network for a clean energy future by developing our infrastructure to transport hydrogen and carbon dioxide across the country. We are Britain’s national gas network, providing secure energy to power the country, achieve net zero, and maintain our industrial competitiveness.
Our organisation comprises three National Gas businesses and Premtech
National Gas Transmission
Owns, operates and maintains the gas National Transmission System (NTS), comprising around 5,000 miles of high-pressure pipelines and associated assets. The NTS transports natural gas to power stations and major industries, storage facilities, interconnectors supplying the island of Ireland and connecting with continental Europe, and to the Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs) that take gas into homes and businesses. Our NTS is the motorway network for gas, transporting energy at high speed to every part of the country – every minute of every day.
