Our wider business has recently entered into a 50:50 joint-venture with Murphy and created Murphy Utility Assets (MUA).
MUA has been established as a utility connections asset owner and plans to enter the market for both Independent Gas Transporters (IGTs) and Independent Distribution Network Operators (IDNOs).
Initially, MUA will focus on taking on gas and electricity infrastructure assets across the UK but there are longer term plans to develop a ‘one-stop shop’ for all utility infrastructure on new developments. This will include future energy solutions such as heat networks.

Scotland’s first biomethane plant at Coupar Angus was commissioned in December 2014. We’ve worked closely with our partners at Keithick Biogas Ltd on this project from planning stage through to ‘biomethane to grid’ and continue to provide full maintenance and operational support today.
We pioneered the UK’s first gas Injection Hub which provides remote gas producers a means to inject biomethane directly into the gas network.
Rainbarrow Farm AD Plant, the UK’s first biomethane-to-grid commercial facility is owned and operated by JV Energen LLP. The plant was fully commissioned in October 2012 and been successfully operating ever since, making it the longest serving biomethane-to-grid facility in the UK.
SGN Commercial Services has enjoyed a close working relationship with JV Energen LLP and are proud to have supported the venture from the beginning.
