The annually published 2010 edition of our Long Term Development Plan is produced in accordance with Standard Special Condition D3 of our RDN Gas Transporters' Licence. It provides a ten-year forecast of the gas transportation system usage and likely system developments. This can be used by companies who are contemplating connecting to our system or entering into transport arrangements to identify and evaluate opportunities.

The document explains our latest volume forecasts, system reinforcement projects and investment plans. It has been published at the end of the 2010 planning process following a re-appraisal of our analysis of the supply and demand position for UK gas distribution. The plan is also the first element of our 2011 planning process.
