UNIFORM NETWORK CODE

one day seminar

Understanding gas transportation in Britain.

The Uniform Network Code (UNC) is the multi-lateral contract that underpins the operation of the world’s most liberalised gas market. The UNC and its related documents form a complex web enabling gas transportation and supply competition in Great Britain. This one-day seminar provides a clear explanation of the key theories and practice of the UNC, empowering delegates to operate with greater understanding and effectiveness in the UK gas market.
