Ofgem Approves NGT SMPS Revision, Minor Changes

Ofgem issued a decision approving National Gas Transmission plc's revised System Management Principles Statement (SMPS) for 2026. The revision was submitted on 23 February 2026 alongside the required consultation report and responses as mandated by Special Condition 9.19 of the Gas Transporter Licence. The approved changes are described as minor, limited to formatting corrections, grammatical edits, and updates to webpage references and names. The revised statement takes effect on 1 April 2026.

Affected parties in the gas transmission sector should note that this revision introduces minimal compliance changes since the modifications are administrative in nature. Entities operating under the Gas Transporter Licence should review the updated document to ensure alignment with the revised SMPS, particularly regarding updated webpage references and terminology.
