Operational Data

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).

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.

From 17th April 2025 our themed hybrid events will be held at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, One Birdcage Walk.

2025 Operational Forum themes – One Birdcage Walk, Westminster (Hybrid): 

  • Future Focus – 16 January 2025
  • New Forum Launch – 17 April 2025
  • Three Molecule Special – 17 July 2025
  • Winter Focus – 30 October 2025 

Key standing items: 

  • Operational overview – highlighting changes over the gas year and against previous gas years
  • UNC and EU regulations and changes
  • Knowledge-based sessions around the operational regime
  • Customer feedback sessions
  • Interesting operational days, as requested
  • Key project updates 

Our online-only meetings will be a mixture of different topics, including those listed above, according to what’s happening at the time of the event.

This forum has been created for the industry and therefore we are always looking to improve and develop it. If you wish to attend the forums, or feel there are discussion items that would benefit the industry, please contact us with your suggestions at [email protected].
