To review the market principles and existing commercial framework in order to assess their compatibility with blending hydrogen into the networks and explore the required amendments where necessary. Ensuring the amended regime is simple and easy to implement whilst also remaining adaptable and consistent with relevant obligations.

Next Steps: The next Workgroup meeting will take place in September 2024. For more information please contact Workgroup Chair rebecca.hailes@gasgovernance.co.uk

It will include an update from National Gas regarding the KPMG blending implementation roadmap Phase 2a. This update will include information on their plans for both the development of a suitable blending delivery model and work to identify proposed changes to the UNC, which will ultimately enable implementation of the commercial framework changes to permit hydrogen blending.
