Infrastructure

Our Infrastructure businesses bring gas and electricity to the market every day, while Rough provides more than half the UK's gas storage capacity.

Infrastructure is collectively made up of our stake in the UK’s nuclear assets, flexgen and renewable power generation, ownership of gas storage at Rough and our gas production business.

In line with our strategy to decarbonise the portfolio and reduce our exposure to oil and gas production, we have committed not to explore for new hydrocarbon reserves, instead focusing on ensuring we can fund our decomissioning liabilities while pursuing opportunities to leverage existing infrastructure to promote energy security and help the UK on its path to net zero.
