Our UK operation comprises almost half of Great Britain's gas distribution network. We own and operate the gas distribution system in the northwest of England, east of England, West Midlands and London. The system includes the gas pipelines that service homes and businesses. We also continue to operate the UK national gas emergency number on behalf of all the networks and gas transporters (0800 111 999).
