Wales & West Utilities is planning to invest over £80 million during 2020 to keep the gas flowing to heat homes and power businesses so people are safe and warm for generations to come.

The news comes after the company invested £81.3 million in 2019, upgrading 406 kilometres of gas pipes across area.

While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Wales and the south west of England.

Whether it’s for heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.

We’ve pledged to deliver a Net Zero ready gas network by 2035, so this work will not only keep the gas flowing safely and reliably today, it will also make sure the gas network is fit for the future and is ready to transport green gases like hydrogen and biomethane.
