What should I know about The Great Grid Upgrade?

We’re building the UK’s energy future, switch by switch. The Great Grid Upgrade is the largest overhaul of the electricity grid in generations. Our 17 infrastructure projects across England and Wales are helping to connect more reliable electricity to homes and businesses than ever before.

Reliable energy. Resilient networks. Ready for tomorrow.

Whether it's the lights, fridges or screens in your home, or the computers, tools and machines that drive your business, we're here to ensure your electricity keeps flowing.

With global electricity consumption expected to more than double by 2050, we're adapting and innovating on the network. It takes engineers, scientists, designers, planners, builders, policymakers, communities and citizens working together to make it happen.

Innovating to solve everyday problems

We invest in innovation to solve real-world problems. We’re committed to lowering costs, supporting job growth and preparing the grid for the demands of the future. From keeping families warm during a storm to enabling new businesses to thrive with reliable power, we innovate to make a real impact.
