Working together
We work closely with businesses and our fellow utility companies to develop innovative solutions to shared problems and challenges.
Key organisations and industry forums include:
Energy Innovation Centre (EIC): through our partnership with the EIC we work with a community of thousands of SMEs (Small to Medium Enterprises) to develop solutions to common industry issues. It’s a great way to access expertise, guidance and ideas, while also investing in local firms.
The EIC is a not-for-profit which supports innovators – free of charge – by offering a range of resources, advice and potential funding opportunities…and just like us, everything they do is focused on supporting a fair transition to net zero by 2030.

Gas Innovation Governance Group: a monthly gathering of UK gas distributors.
Cross Utility Innovation Group: a regular get-together of water, power and gas providers. Over the past year, partners have been working on a joint project to measure the social impact of network innovation activities.
Low Carbon Network Innovation Conference: an annual conference at which utility companies showcase green, affordable energy solutions.
Energy Innovation Centre Gas Distributors Forum: a quarterly meeting of gas distributors and SMEs to solve problems and explore fresh ideas.
