European unbundling

  • National Grid fully supports complete ownership unbundling across Europe - TSO is best option to deliver sustainable, secure and competitive energy
  • UK customers have benefited from unbundling through lower costs, lower carbon emissions, increased investment and increased reliability
  • Drives prices down from increased competition that comes by allowing all producers and generators open and transparent access to the transmission networks
  • Allows more renewables onto the system through open access to the transmission networks – contributing to a lower carbon generation footprint
