| ¹ Measurement of gas flows, in volume and energy terms, occurs at several points along the supply chain. As such, differences are seen between the actual recorded flow through any one point and estimates calculated for the flow of gas at that point. | |||||
| ² This is a National Grid assessment of leakage through the local distribution system based on the National Leakage Reduction Monitoring Model. | |||||
| ³ Equivalent to about 0.06 per cent of the local distribution zones (LDZ) throughput. This is an assessment of the energy used to counter the effects of gas cooling on pressure reduction. | |||||
| 4 Calculated by National Grid as 0.3 per cent of LDZ throughput, this is theft before the gas reaches customer meters. |
