Bord Gáis Networks to Gas Networks Ireland
• Huge Undertaking
– Statutory Instruments, Government Consents, Financial &
Legal Restructures, Contract Novations, IT Systems
• 2/3 people did not understand the role of Bord Gáis Networks
• Bord Gáis Networks never invested heavily in its ‘brand’, acting
instead as the silent server, focused on safety, reliable gas
supplies and growing utilisation of the gas networks.
• Our task was to change our name, maintain awareness of our
safety messages, avoid confusion and manage costs in a
challenging environment.

15Why?
Constrained Funding Model
• Year on year and dependent on exchequer resources
Fragmented Service Delivery
• Diseconomies of scale
Variable Operations & Maintenance
• Limited funding and lack of standards
Aging and poor quality infrastructure
• Water mains average age twice the EU Average
