Induction to gas – training materials
The History of Gas
The gas industry can seem quite complicated. Our new History of Gas video walks you through the formation of the gas industry and the major parties involved in supplying gas across the network.
The Gas Network
Our Network Overview details the gas industry’s distribution network, a nationwide network of high-pressure pipes that provide a channel for gas to be moved across the country directly to our homes and properties.
Industry Stakeholders
Many parties are involved in supplying gas to supply points. Our new Stakeholder Infographic introduces you to each participant and provides a helpful description of the role they play in the coordinated effort to deliver gas to the industry’s supply points.
Supply Point Types
Gas is used differently across the country. Our Supply Point Types infographic breaks down how we categorise and manage the various types of gas users, ensuring we can tailor our services and their meter reads to what best suits their level of usage.
