Final RIIO-2 Business Plan Submission December 2019 Appendix A14 - Our Whole Systems Strategy 2 Foreword This document outlines Northern Gas Networks’ Whole Systems Strategy. This strategy addresses Ofgem’s business plan guidance for us to provide information on our approach to enabling whole systems solutions in our RIIO-2 Business Plan. We have developed this strategy in conjunction with key whole systems stakeholders. Importantly, NGN is committed to supporting the achievement of the UK’s net zero emission targets and our Whole Systems Strategy sets out how we intend to contribute. The purpose of this document has been to assist us with: • determining our role in the whole systems landscape; • determining how we will interact with other stakeholders in the creation of an integrated energy system; and • defining the actions that we will need to take to deliver against our objectives. We also note the interactions between this document, our Environmental Action Plan, Innovation Strategy and Customers in Vulnerable Situations Strategy: • Environmental Action Plan – this is the primary regulatory document that sets out the environmental impacts of our business operations as well as short-term initiatives to reduce these impacts and our long-term strategy to contribute to the net zero emission targets by 2050, for the benefit of customers. • Innovation Strategy – this sets out our approach to delivering innovation in RIIO-2 (particularly in relation to enabling the achievement of our net zero emission targets and supporting customers in vulnerable situations), with a focus on the benefits provided to customers.
