The project which will see natural gas introduced as an alternative to LPG \'towns gas\' is progressing to schedule and within budget.
The Gas Network Extension Project is being carried out to allow households access to a much wider variety of household appliances, whilst allowing Manx Gas to introduce an 'all Island' heating tariff.
For it to happen the MEA had to install 43 km of gas pipe during last winter, with the works teams contending with the heavy snow in December.
The first phase will see supplies of natural gas for 9 areas including Ramsey, Peel, Castletown and Port St Mary.
For it to happen a survey of over 6,800 households had to happen, this pre conversion work is now complete in Ramsey and the South, and presently taking place in Peel, Kirk Michael and Ballaugh.
The conversion works will begin in Ramsey in March of next year.
