Gas Market Strategy

The transformation from today’s Electricity System Operator into the National Energy System Operator represents the shift that is needed across the energy system. Operating across the whole system and enabling joined-up thinking. 

Today, networks for gas and electricity are planned and developed separately. On day 1 when we become NESO, the gas market team will bring the two together and take a more strategic long-term approach. This means that we can identify whole energy system needs and ensure that the system can be designed and built accordingly.

Our Gas Market Strategy team was established in January 2024.

Our objective is to develop and coordinate gas market engagement and drive action on gas market strategy towards net zero.

Our Gas Market Strategy Team will work with gas stakeholders to develop the Gas Markets Plan. This will set out the actions, projects and plans needed to transition the market and industry arrangements for gas based on potential future scenarios for a decarbonised energy system.

We will be taking responsibility for the Future of Gas Forum and Steering Group, inviting input from gas market participants across the energy industry, gas network operators, shippers, storage owners etc.
