  • Testing how hydrogen could mix with the gas we already use
  • Backing projects that help make the whole gas system greener

Our Team

People really are our most important asset. We work hard to maintain our physical network, so we must work just as hard to maintain and develop our staff. We are very proud of our culture at Kinecx Energy. We believe every employee has the opportunity to be the best they can be, and in doing so, continue to deliver operational excellence for our customers and commercial success for our organisation. The recognition provided by our accreditations is great, however, their true value resides in the opportunities they present for continuous improvement. I believe our dedication to continuous improvement is what sets up apart from others.
