The transition to clean energy is a feat for which there’s no precedent or blueprint. Innovation will play a key role in the path towards achieving net zero, and we have adopted creative solutions and cutting-edge technology in order to meet this new challenge.
Innovative and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) technologies we’re trialling or adopting to solve issues and evolve our energy systems.
National Grid created National Grid Partners to ‘disrupt itself’ and advance the energy systems of tomorrow. Since 2018, we’ve invested in dozens of companies that are making the power grid safer, cleaner, and smarter.
