Premier Transmission Ltd (PTL) is the owner and operator of the Scotland to Northern Ireland
natural gas transmission pipeline (SNIP).
PTL also operates the Belfast Gas Transmission Pipeline (BGTP) on behalf of Belfast Gas
Transmission Ltd. The SNIP and the BGTP jointly form the Premier Transmission Pipeline System.
The full share capital of PTL was acquired from the 50/50 joint venture owners, BG Group plc and
Keyspan Energy Development Corporation, on 18 March 2005 by Northern Ireland Energy Holdings
Ltd (NIEH). Northern Ireland Energy Holdings is a mutual company which manages energy assets
in the long-term interests of Northern Ireland's energy consumers. Having no shareholders, any
financial surpluses are for the benefit of energy consumers. This, combined with long-term secure
finance, has allowed the company to manage major energy assets at a very low cost to consumers.
The 24-inch diameter pipeline is 135 kilometres long and runs from Twynholm in Scotland to
Ballylumford in Northern Ireland.
Constructed over a period of three years between 1994 and 1996, the pipeline was completed
to schedule and within budget. The pipeline operates under an 'open access', non-discriminatory
commercial framework.
It transports gas to Ballylumford Power Station which generates more than half of Northern
Ireland's electricity needs and feeds the Greater Belfast natural gas distribution system via the
Belfast Gas Transmission Pipeline.
