Understanding Gas Transportation

GB Gas Distribution Network Charges

Transportation charges for moving gas from the National Transmission System (NTS) to consumer premises via Local Distribution Zones.

13 Local Distribution Zones

Regional pricing across 4 GDNs. Each LDZ has unique transportation charges.

AQ-Based Charging

Annual Quantity (AQ) determines applicable rates. Larger sites use power function calculations.

Site Type Support

Standard supply points, Direct Connect sites, and CSEP connections with different charge structures.
