Metering Services

Our Metering business covers the management and operation of our metering sites that comprise approximately 10,600 installations, typically located on the consumers’ properties and connected to GasNet’s network.

Where GasNet owned meters are connected to another distributor’s network; they are referred to as ‘Off-Network’. The extent of our metering business extends beyond the geographical footprint of network business. Further information can be obtained on our Coverage webpage.

These installations are known as a Gas Measurement Systems or GMS, and are designed to reduce the pressure from the higher pressure in our distribution network to the lower pressure needed for the consumers installation to operate safely and efficiently.

The Meter included as part of the GMS allows Retailers to calculate the amount of energy used by a consumer.
