Cadent plays a vital role in delivering gas to 11 million homes and we must maintain our infrastructure to a high standard and ensure the network is capable to meet energy demands.

As such, Cadent is required to upgrade existing networks which entails temporarily disconnecting gas suppliers to allow works to be done. Cadent also responds to reports of gas emergencies and unplanned gas outages. This means Cadent customers could be found left if a vulnerable situation i.e. no means of cooking or heating.

To ensure customers who have been left in a vulnerable situation as a result of disrupted gas supply caused by works carried out, Cadent seeks to issue food vouchers to those customers to ensure they have access to hot meals.
