National Gas Corporation (NGC) applies for clearance to acquire UnitedNetworks’ gas pipeline assets
The Commerce Commission has received an application from Natural Gas Corporation Holdings Limited for clearance to acquire the gas pipeline assets of UnitedNetworks Limited.
NGC owns and operates the natural gas transmission pipelines in the North Island, is a distributor and retailer of gas in Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taupo, Gisborne, Hutt/Mana and Kapiti, and a retailer of gas in Taranaki. NGC also has a 25% interest in the Wanganui/Rangitikei gas distributor and retailer, Wanganui Gas Limited.
