Cadent Gas traces its roots back 200 years to the start of the gas industry in the United Kingdom.  In 2017 Cadent was officially created when the UK’s National Grid sold its gas distribution business as part of the de-regulation of the energy industry in the United Kingdom. 

As of 2022, Cadent has over 4,000 employees and brings gas to 11 million homes and businesses throughout the United Kingdom. In addition, Cadent manages the National Gas Emergency Service on behalf of the gas industry and provides an emergency response service to people who suspect they have a gas leak.
