Gas & Critical Minerals

Plan for twenty-eight million homes coming off gas, and a network that has to fund its own decline.

UK gas networks, hydrogen repurposing, storage and critical minerals intelligence.

Six volumes on this sector, every figure traced to a named primary source and carried at a stated verification date. We read Ofgem RIIO-3, National Gas Transmission, the four gas distribution networks, DESNZ and the CCC so that you do not have to. Scroll down to see what is in them.

The problem

Twenty-eight million homes. One transition.

RIIO-GT3 and GD3 are the first price controls of the decline era.

The root cause

Why is that hard to fund? National Gas Transmission and four distribution networks serve around 24 million customers.

Three pathways sit in front of them — blending, full conversion, or hybrid — and only one decision.

The turn

Six volumes tell you which pathway the network is actually taking.

With the pilots that will settle it, read from the source and dated.

Proof

Five sources, one winter — Rough, Grain, South Hook, Dragon, and the IUK and BBL interconnectors.

Plus the critical minerals position: a grid build-out is a programme of materials.

What you get

Check which repurposing pathway a network has chosen before you specify plant with a twenty-year life.

Track the RIIO-GT3 and GD3 allowances against what the four distribution networks actually spend.

See where the hydrogen pilots stand — H100 Fife and HyDeploy — and what they have proved so far.

Read the critical minerals position against the grid build-out that depends on those materials.

Volumes in this sector

Underneath the electricity grid sits the critical minerals supply chain. Copper, lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earths, chromium — the UK's exposure to international supply chains for the grid build-out is a structural strategic question.

Watch this sector live on the boards — the Heatmap for its projects, the Data Board for its targets against delivery.
