Gas Networks Ireland operates and maintains Ireland’s €2.8bn, 14,725km national gas network, which is considered one of the safest and most modern renewables-ready gas networks in the world.
Over 720,000 homes and businesses trust Ireland’s gas network to provide efficient and reliable energy to meet their heating, cooking, manufacturing and transport needs.
The gas network is the cornerstone of Ireland’s energy system, securely supplying more than 30% of Ireland’s total energy, including 40% of all heating and almost 50% of the country’s electricity generation.
By working to replace natural gas with renewable gases, such as biomethane and green hydrogen, and complementing intermittent renewable electricity, Gas Networks Ireland is supporting Ireland’s journey to a cleaner energy future.
Gas Networks Ireland is a business with a clear purpose in ‘Keeping Ireland’s energy moving’ and an exciting and challenging vision ‘To be at the heart of Ireland’s energy future’. Consequently, our strategy is that of a business focused on both “performing” to meet the current energy demands of our consumers and stakeholders, and “transforming” our assets and services to meet their future energy needs.
GNIs Pathway to a Net Zero Carbon Network details a transformative journey towards a repurposed, resized, and fully decarbonised gas network by 2045. The Pathway is available under Supplier Resources.
