Wales and West Utilities has claimed the proposed cuts to its irons mains replacement work could mean the Health and Safety Executive refusing to sign off the plans. The gas network said Ofgem’s disallowance of vital work in its RIIO2 business plan could lead to more than 6,600 additional gas leaks by 2030, of which almost 600 would be “gas-in-building” events. It said the Grenfell incident has shown that such dangers are “unacceptable to society”.
