    Today we are delighted to host our second Global Technology Conference following the great success from last year. With gas and information technology companies from around the world attending the conference, to help us with our mission to digitally transform our business in partnership with others. 

    We have brought together thought leaders and technology partners to accelerate our collective change agenda, to decarbonise our future and understand the crucial role gas networks will play in delivering net zero.

    We have over 70 gas and information technology companies attending all with one goal in mind, “To find technology solutions that enable more flexible ways of working that help decarbonise our industry and digitally transform the ways we operate.”

    With a packed agenda during the two days, we will hear from guest speakers Ann Hiatt, a Silicon Valley veteran, Johan Hanekom from Amazon Web Services, Paolo Gallo, from Italgas and David Horrocks from Peak4.

    Our Chief Operating Officer Howard Forster, Chief Information Officer Kate Jones and Chief Strategy and Regulation Officer Tony Ballance are hosting the event and asking the question of the attendees, ‘Working in partnership, how can we bring new future innovative solutions to Cadent today?’

    Last year we presented a number of questions at the conference and we able to bring the discussions and new technological solutions to a reality for today. We are looking forward to new partnerships and technologies from this conference over the next two days.

    Today we start the conversations.

    Cadent

    Cadent is the UK’s largest gas distribution network with a 200-year legacy.  We are in a unique position to build on strong foundations whilst encouraging the curiosity to think differently and the courage to embrace change.  Day to day we continue to operate, maintain and innovate the UK’s largest gas network, transporting gas safely and protecting people in an emergency.   Our skilled engineers and specialists remain committed to the communities we serve, working day and night to ensure gas reaches 11 million homes from Cumbria to North London and the Welsh Borders to East Anglia, to keep your energy flowing.

    Future of Gas:

    Here at Cadent we support the Government’s plans to reach Net Zero by 2050. That means we’re backing the introduction of hydrogen as a low carbon alternative to natural gas for the future. We know people love the controllability of gas and, with our network already in place, it makes sense to switch to the lower carbon alternative offered by hydrogen, which we believe can keep homes and businesses warm for generations to come.
