Welcome to National Grid Group

To achieve a cleaner energy future, the EU and the UK need to work closely together on the energy transition. We share similar strategic climate targets and our markets have been built together for decades as part of the Internal Energy Market.

As the world’s first operational T-pylons are constructed along National Grid’s Hinkley Connection route, pupils from 20 local schools are preparing time capsules with 2021-related memorabilia to be hidden inside the structures.

Our Net Zero Construction project is helping us to deliver our vision of a clean energy future, with a commitment to being fully net zero across all new construction projects by 2025/26.

Since its launch in October 2020, our partnership with MyKindaFuture – the UK’s leading underrepresented talent specialist – has helped inspire 18,000 students from diverse backgrounds to consider careers in STEM and shows no signs of slowing down.

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.
