Summary
Documents
Participation in PRCI gives National Grid Gas and Cadent Gas access to research projects that may otherwise be more difficult to fund on an individual basis, as well as the opportunity of validating work carried out on internal programmes. There are extensive networking opportunities with other gas transporters and across the wider industry. Collaboration through this organisation will continue to play a key role in the innovation portfolio.
Benefits
National Grid and Cadent assess the collaboration through individual projects against the ability to develop improvements to how we build, manage and operate the networks. Success is also determined by the level of influence we exert on each research programme and the financial leverage available compared to self funding the research.
