Welcome to the NTS Gas Connections Homepage. This page aims to provide information for developers of gas entry, exit and storage projects with some initial guidance on how to get a Transmission Connection to the NTS. In this case, Transmission Connection refers to:

Please Note – Important: Any new NTS connection project must intend to flow in excess of 58,614,200 kWh (2,000,000 therms) per annum in order to be allowed to connect to the NTS. This equates to approximately 20,000 Domestic properties.

Industry led changes to the NTS Connections Processes:

Under the Uniform Network Code Modification Proposal 0373 “Governance of the NTS Connections processes”, the industry is reviewing the process of how projects obtain a new (or revised) NTS connection. We anticipate the implementation of a new NTS connections framework during 2012 to reflect the outcome of this review.

National Grid has commenced trialling a new Application process in readiness for an implementation of Mod0373.This web page is an interim solution and will be updated in parallel to events driven by the Mod0373. 

If you wish to familiarise yourself with the Mod0373, please use the following link to the Joint Office of Gas Transporters: www.gasgovernance.co.uk/0373

In the first instance, National Grid recommends that if you would like to discuss your requirements for a connection to the NTS then, after reviewing the basic NTS Connections Guide and the associated documents, please contact one of the following people for a pre application discussion. They will be happy to discuss with you in more detail the process of connecting to the NTS:
