The UK Gas Market

from MJMEnergy

The UK gas market provides heat to over 22 million homes, whilst also providing around one third of electricity and energy for thousands of businesses. While there is a developed commercial regime and wholesale market for gas, the technical complexities of supplying natural gas through pipelines can have major impacts on price, availability and flexibility. This course provides delegates without an engineering or technical background with the key technical understanding necessary to make sense of the UK gas market.
