Gas Consumers

Gas consumers are classified into two categories, viz large consumers and retail consumers depending on the arrangement for conveyance of gas to them.

Large Consumers

Large consumers are typically electricity generation companies and large industrial users of gas that take gas from the gas transmission network. They will make arrangements with either the gas transporter or a gas shipper for the conveyance of gas to their premises.

Retail Consumers

Retail consumers are gas users who purchase gas from gas retailers. The gas retailers will arrange with the gas transporter for the conveyance of gas to the retail consumers. Retail consumers typically take gas from the gas mains network and use the gas for cooking and heating purposes, eg households and small non-domestic users of gas.
