Over 40 participants gathered at The MAC in Belfast for Phoenix Energy's first Stakeholder Engagement Forum, which coincided with the release of its latest Responsible Business Report.

The company brought together representatives from government, industry, community and consumer organisations to outline priorities and invite candid feedback to inform its future direction.

Facilitated discussions explored inclusive service delivery, future metering solutions and the role of the gas network in the energy transition. The format aimed to surface practical insights, challenge assumptions and encourage collaboration, with customer needs and real-world experience at the forefront.
