Watch videoWhat role does National Grid play in my energy bill?
We receive a lot of questions about how your household energy bills are made up, and which parts of your bill relate to National Grid.
The bill you receive from your energy supplier is made up of a number of separate charges. Some of these charges are based on the different stages through which electricity makes its way from the producers to your home, so we explain this journey and where National Grid fits in.
Our vision for a fossil-free future
Our vision is to eliminate fossil fuels from our US gas and electric systems, enabling the people and communities we serve to meet their heating needs without using fossil fuels by 2050 or sooner.

National Grid security: how we keep the grid safe
A reliable, consistent energy supply is essential for keeping our hospitals, transport networks, schools and homes running; so keeping our electricity grid secure and guarding against potential threats is something we take very seriously.
How will our electricity supply change in the future?
The global ambition to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 means we’ll likely be using more electricity than ever before in the coming years. So how will this impact our current power networks and shape them in the future?
Heating our homes with hydrogen
Relying on fossil fuels to heat our homes, businesses and buildings is no longer an option if we’re to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. We must now look to low- or no-carbon energy sources and hydrogen is one of the most promising options.
