Ireland's Gas Network - Keeping Ireland's Energy Moving

Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) has published ‘Ireland’s Gas Network – Keeping Ireland’s Energy Moving', a comprehensive and engaging report that captures the key facts and figures relating to Ireland’s gas network in 2024 and looks forward to its plans to transform to deliver a repurposed, resized, and fully decarbonised network, to support Irelands journey to net zero by 2050.

Delivering natural gas safely and securely to Irish homes and businesses for over 40 years, the gas network, a €3bn state-owned asset, generates approx. 41% of Ireland’s electricity and delivers more than 30% of Ireland’s primary energy needs.

As Ireland's energy system evolves in response to the challenges of decarbonisation and energy security, and, as energy demand grows, Gas Networks Ireland has a pivotal role to play in enabling Ireland to achieve net zero by 2050. By transforming our modern and flexible gas network we can support the development of indigenous renewable gases, including green hydrogen and biomethane, and enhance security of energy supply.  

As the company responsible for developing, operating, and maintaining the network, we are committed to making a vital contribution to Ireland’s net zero carbon future and to working with all stakeholders to maximise the contribution of the network for today and for the future.
