About us
National Grid lies at the heart of a transforming energy system. Our business areas play a vital role in connecting millions of people to the energy they use, while continually seeking ways to make the energy system clean, fair, and affordable. In the UK we own and develop the high-voltage electricity transmission network in England and Wales, taking electricity from where it’s generated to where it’s needed. National Grid Electricity Distribution delivers electricity to over 20 million people across homes and businesses in the Midlands, South West England, and South Wales. In the US, we own and operate electricity and natural gas networks, serving over 20 million people across New York State and Massachusetts. National Grid Ventures operates across the UK, Europe, and the US, developing, operating, and investing in large-scale clean energy infrastructure. National Grid Partners invests in entrepreneurs at the intersection of energy and emerging tech, with capital, resources, connections, and know-how.

Britain’s transmission grid connections pipeline continues to grow, with far more projects waiting to connect than are needed to meet the country’s clean power targets. This short pause proposed by NESO will ultimately help the right projects get connected at the right times. This is a key part of a strategically planned net zero electricity network 👇 #energy #electricity
Grid connections applications have continued to grow to the point that it is no longer possible to deliver connections reforms in parallel with the existing connections process. Last year, we received over 1,700 connection applications, leaving more projects already in the queue than are required for the energy system in 2030 or even 2050. In the next phase of connections reform, we’re pausing connection applications from 29 January to allow us to implement a new strategic application process that will support growth and deliver clean power for the nation.

The future is here. A recent change in aviation policy, coupled with pioneering developments in autonomous flight technology, has unlocked the opportunity for us to remotely operate fleets of autonomous drones from a ground control room. Why do we use drones to inspect our infrastructure – and why do they need to fly beyond visual line of sight? More in our new article 👇 sees.ai | Civil Aviation Authority #Drones #Tech #Engineering
