In March 2005, firmus energy was awarded a licence to develop a new natural gas network outside Greater Belfast, from L’Derry in the North West (NW) to Ballymena and from Antrim to Newry along the South North (SN) pipeline.

Before the towns could be developed for natural gas, two key transmission pipelines were required to transport gas from Carrickfergus (where natural gas comes into Northern Ireland from Scotland) to the towns in the North West and South North of the province. These two pipelines were built and are operated by BGE (Northern Ireland).

Following the completion of the North West pipeline in 2004, and the South North pipeline in 2006, firmus energy was able to build the new gas networks in each of these towns across Northern Ireland. These towns include:
• Ahoghilll • Antrim • Armagh • Ballyclare
• Ballymena • Ballymoney • Banbridge
• Bessbrook • Broughshane • Bushmills
• Coleraine • Craigavon • Cullybackey
• Doagh • Londonderry~Derry • Laurelvale
• Limavady • Lurgan • Macosqiun
• Maghaberry • Magheralin • Moira 
• Newbuildings • Newry • Portadown 
• Portstewart • Templepatrick • Tandragee 
​• Warrenpoint
