Phoenix Energy is the gas network operator responsible for maintaining the gas infrastructure and operating the network 24/7 across our licensed area, which includes Greater Belfast, Larne and East Down. While we are not a gas supplier, we work closely with local gas suppliers to help ensure customers receive the support they need.
Your gas supplier may be able to assist you directly, including through dedicated care schemes and additional support services. Please see the information below for details on how they can help.
In the video below, John Graham, one of our Vulnerability Champion’s, explains the Energy Care Scheme, a free support service provided by your gas supplier in Northern Ireland.
When you first apply for a natural gas service and meter, you can advise us who you wish your supplier to be. Once we have connected your property we will notify your chosen gas supplier.
Did you know that once connected to our network, the domestic gas suppliers SSE and Firmus Energy operate a range of services to meet the differing needs of energy users. You should check out these schemes with your chosen domestic gas supplier to see if you might be eligible.
At Phoenix Energy we understand that times can be hard at the moment for many people. Please watch the short video below from the NI Utility Regulator for advice on what to do next if you are struggling to pay your bills.
