Welcome to National Grid Group

The East Coast Cluster would capture, transport and store CO2 emissions across the Humber and Teesside regions – which account for nearly 50% of all UK industrial cluster emissions – and deliver an average of 25,000 jobs per year in the area up to 2050.

Joseph Harvey's interest in net zero was sparked during his higher apprenticeship. Here he tells us about his ‘green collar job’, how he’s representing National Grid as a future leader on sustainability and his literally cool outdoors hobby.

With the Tokyo 2020 Olympics kicking off this week, we’re celebrating our own Herculean projects that took place a little closer to home; the construction of two colossal tunnels to provide power to the London 2012 Olympic games.

Transport makes up 23% of energy-related carbon emissions globally and businesses have a critical role to play in leading by example and encouraging an uptake of EVs within their own fleet. We’re doing this by joining the EV100 initiative.

Interconnectors are high-voltage under-sea cables. They’re the international clean energy super-highways; stretching for hundreds of miles to enable energy produced from renewables to flow back and forth between Great Britain and neighbouring countries.

National Grid is due to start tunnelling for its £1 billion flagship project to rewire South London – vital works for London’s electricity supply that will allow us to keep the lights on well into the future.

In the run-up to the eagerly anticipated global climate change summit COP26, UK Executive Director Nicola Shaw and US President Badar Khan explain what we’re doing to tackle climate change now and in the future.

Diversity of thought, backgrounds and perspectives is critical to achieving our ambitions, generally and for net zero. We’ve taken a further step with this by joining the Valuable 500 – a global movement putting disability on the business agenda.
