Northern Gas Networks Operations Limited is part of the Northern Gas Networks group, which distributes gas across the North of England. The group owns and maintains over 37,000 km of gas pipes, serving around 2.9 million homes and businesses. It does not generate gas but transports it through its underground pipe network, replacing ageing metal pipework with plastic pipes, responding to gas escapes, and supporting vulnerable customers with fuel poverty issues. The group is also developing renewable gas options, including hydrogen, as part of a transition towards net zero. This entity's registered role sits within that wider group's gas distribution operations.
