The company was founded in 1972 by the Spanish Government with the aim of creating a nationwide network of gas pipelines. After privatisation in 1994, Gas Natural acquired a controlling stake in the company. Since Enagás demerged in 2002, Gas Natural gradually decreased its stake to 5%, the maximum allowed for any shareholder by the Government after 30 December 2006.[6] As of 2006, the institutional shareholder was the state-owned holding company Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI) which held 5% of Enagás.[6]
Since 2019, 90% of the company's shares are on the open market (free float).[7]
In September 2023, it was announced Enagás has finalised the acquisition of 10% of the shares in the Hamburg LNG and green gases import terminal, Hanseatic Energy Hub GmbH.[8]
