National Gas Transmission’s methane emissions reduction and monitoring projects - decision
Summary
Ofgem approves funding for National Gas Transmission's methane emissions reduction and monitoring projects under the RIIO-2 Net Zero Pre-Construction and Small Projects re-opener. The decision implements proposals to manage and reduce methane emissions from the gas transmission network. A direction will be issued to amend National Gas Transmission's RIIO-2 licence.
Why it matters
Gas network emission reductions address climate obligations but do not affect electricity market structure or generation costs. As such, this represents environmental compliance spending rather than energy system reform.
Key facts
- •Decision follows consultation on minded-to position
- •Funding approved under RIIO-2 reopener mechanism
