## Description

Meeting the 2050 target has implications for the future of the gas transmission and distribution networks, which the Committee wishes to characterise and assess in this project\. Gas distribution and transmission companies are regulated by Ofgem, with costs recovered through consumer bills\. The next price control review will be crucial to determining whether the gas network is prepared for low carbon transition\. The CCC wants to understand what issues we need to be aware of going into that review\.
