UK Networks Transition Challenges - Gas
Liam Lidstone
Strategy Manager
For a low carbon future UK energy networks have to change
As with the electricity network the gas network is well established. It offers national main land coverage, serving approximately 80% of homes in the UK. Homes not connected to the gas grid tend to be either in more remote locations, where it is less cost-effective to provide a connection to the gas grid, or certain types of homes in urban areas which have electric heating (e.g. many apartment buildings).
