GTC HISTORY

2006
GTC is granted an electricity Independent Distribution Network Operator licence (IDNO), expanding our energy network provision throughout the UK (excl N.Ireland).

2005
Acquires gas networks with a further 26,000 household connections via the acquisition of Utility Grid Installations Ltd.

2004
We signed the Transco final connections contract enabling the live connections to Transco mains to be made by ourselves in all but the highest-pressure categories and unusual material cases. GTC acquires gas networks with over 50,000 household connections from Scottish Power. GTC acquires the gas networks from Mowlem Energy adding 6000 household connections to its portfolio. New Headquarters building opens in Woolpit, Suffolk.

2003
GTC achieves Gas Industry Registration Scheme (GIRS) accredited for Design, Project Management and Audit. This scheme sponsored by Ofgem and Transco was developed by Lloyds Register to ensure gas infrastructure is built to the approved industry standards and to provide safe and secure gas supplies.

2002
GTC has now installed 2500 networks, laid in excess of 700 kilometres of pipeline, connected 100,000 customers and transports over 2.4 billion kW/h of gas per annum. Approval granted to build new headquarters for GTC in Woolpit.

1999
GTC expanded its operations in 1999 to include the non domestic development sector, successfully securing contracts for the installation of networks to serve major developments around the UK. GTC acquires gas networks from Eastern Pipelines Limited.

1998
In June 1998 GTC became the first PGT to install a new natural gas distribution network to serve a complete village since the commencement of deregulation and the only Public Gas Transporter (PGT) ever to do so other than the former British Gas. The village, Papworth Everard near Cambridge, is the home to the famous Papworth Hospital and Trust who welcomed the availability of this less expensive and more efficient fuel. New homes being built and existing homes in the area can now benefit from the gas network instead of being reliant on less convenient and more expensive alternative fuels.

1996
With deregulation of the natural gas transportation market, the company applied for a license as a PGT. This was awarded in September 1996 under the second phase of section 7(5) of the Gas Act 1986.

1995
The Company commenced operations in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) sector, designing and installing metered LPG networks for new housing developments throughout the UK in locations that were outside of the natural gas supply area.
