Gas supply

Official published NTS total supply.

Gas demand

Official published NTS total demand.

NTS linepack

Gas currently contained within the transmission pipelines.

Supply − demand

Difference between the latest instantaneous NTS supply and demand flow rates. Linepack means this is not the same as the system's formal balancing position.

Gas entering the National Transmission System

Values are exactly as published, including their sign. Entry points are listed by size of flow. These individual flows are not added together to produce the supply figure above, which comes from National Gas’s own total.

How to read these figures

National Gas Transmission publishes its latest NTS supply, demand and entry-point flows in mcm/day. Actual linepack is the volume of gas contained within the National Transmission System and is shown in million cubic metres (mcm). These units come from the official National Gas Transmission documentation for this dataset, not from the REST payload, which publishes no unit field.

Linepack is the amount of gas currently contained within the National Transmission System pipelines. It is not gas storage.
