Cadent plays a vital role in delivering gas to 11 million homes and we must maintain our infrastructure to a high standard and ensure the network is capable to meet energy demands.

Cadent also responds to reports of gas emergencies and unplanned gas outages. This means Cadent customers could be found left if a vulnerable situation i.e. no means of cooking or heating.
