Distribution networks enable routing of energy (natural gas and electricity) to the end consumer. GDF SUEZ builds, maintains and operates a major distribution network in France and internationally with constant concern for reliability and security.
GDF SUEZ, a major player in gas distribution
Gas distribution networks are structures that are mainly made up of medium- or low-pressure pipelines. Their role is to route natural gas to end consumers.
GDF SUEZ has the largest natural gas distribution network in Europe.
In France, the Group manages 192,202 km of network through its GrDF subsidiary, that is in charge of its maintenance, operation and development.

| European regulations call for energy supplying activities to be legally separate from network management. To this end, GDF SUEZ set up Gaz Réseau Distribution de France (GrDF), a wholly-owned subsidiary on 1 January 2008, to manage the 192,202 km gas distribution network in France. | |
