Gas Distribution Benchmarking Initiative
The Gas Distribution Benchmarking Initiative allows operators to leverage each other's expertise to succeed.
As the gas distribution industry evolves, how are you optimising your operations to face your new challenges?
Ageing assets, evolving environmental regulation, and the energy transition are changing the gas distribution industry. It has never been more important for operators to focus on what they can control: their operational excellence. However, achieving continuous improvement presents significant challenges for operators, including:
- Lacking a roadmap for systematic continuous improvement
- Understanding performance gaps but not having a clear vision as how to close them
- Difficulty in assessing the value-optimization of existing plans
- Not being able to justify business plans to stakeholders
Achieve cost competitiveness & efficiency
Total Cost Competitiveness & Efficiency analysed through several key areas:
- Operations
- Maintenance
- Control Room & SCADA
- General & Administration
- Commercial & Business Support
