About Us
National Gas is made up of three businesses:
- National Gas Transmission
- National Gas Metering
- National Gas Services.
National Gas Transmission
National Gas Transmission owns and operates the gas National Transmission System (NTS) – a vast pipeline network that transports gas from terminals and ports to every part of Britain. The gas transported in our pipelines plays a critical role in meeting Britain’s energy needs, helping to power electricity generation, to fuel industrial processes and to heat businesses and homes. It also provides the energy security needed to help Britain achieve its net zero carbon objectives in the coming decades.
The NTS comprises around 5,000 miles of pipeline, 65 compressors at 21 compressor stations and more than 500 above-ground installations, transporting gas to wherever it is needed quickly, safely and efficiently. The NTS is the backbone of Britain’s energy system today, and will support the UK’s transition to a clean energy future.
National Gas Metering
National Gas Metering is one of the largest meter equipment managers in Britain. Our expertise and equipment enable homes and businesses to access the energy they need safely and reliably. We maintain and oversee millions of diverse, and in some cases highly complex, gas metering installations throughout the UK.
We ensure meters perform reliably, accurately and in compliance with strict regulatory standards. We use advanced engineering technologies and innovative methods to provide high-performance metering and outstanding levels of customer service. With a focus on precision, reliability and safety, we ensure that these vital assets meet the needs of homes, businesses and industry.
National Gas Services
National Gas Services is Britain's trusted authority in planned and emergency gas pipeline inspection, repair, maintenance and replacement services. Our in-house expertise, skills and nationwide resources enable us to provide a complete one-stop shop for all types of pipeline intervention work, on any scale.
We provide a 24/7 emergency response service, along with a full range of maintenance, inspection and repair services for strategic gas assets. Our six depots across England, Scotland and Wales enable our engineers to provide a rapid response to any gas pipeline emergency. Our expertise spans the wide range of materials and pressures used in both the National Transmission System (NTS) and regional Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs).
Premtech
National Gas also owns Premtech, a highly respected design and engineering consultancy, providing multi-disciplinary services for onshore gas and oil pipeline projects, as well as future net zero technologies including hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
Our purpose, values and priorities
At National Gas, we are always guided by the priorities of our consumers. We work to ensure the country has a safe and reliable gas network today and throughout the transition to net zero. Using our unique skills and expertise, we are playing a central role in developing a clean, sustainable and affordable energy future for the UK.

Our business is underpinned by three key customer priorities:
- Reliable energy: Our gas network keeps homes warm, fuels industry and keeps the lights on – so the safety and reliability of gas supply is our number-one priority.
- Affordable energy: We are acutely aware of the impact that high gas prices can have on consumers. Our business plan to March 2026 is geared towards having a minimal impact on bills.
- Sustainable energy: National Gas has an ambition to be net zero by 2040 for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. We have a clear decarbonisation strategy and emissions-reduction roadmap. We are at the forefront of hydrogen innovation, helping to develop a hydrogen network for Britain.
