Our vision

At National Grid, we bring energy to power possibilities. 

We have a responsibility to demonstrate our contribution to society, whether that’s helping the young people of today to become the energy problem-solvers of tomorrow or supporting our customers to use energy more efficiently. 

Creating a reliable, resilient and affordable energy future is what society demands and what we demand of ourselves. It’s the right thing to do for our people and business and our customers. What could be more important?

Our values

If our vision sets out ‘what’ we want to achieve, our values are the ‘how’. They shape our spirit, attitude and what guides us.

Our values underpin everything we do. They inform our decisions, how we show up and the way we treat each other. They shape our company and how our customers and communities experience us.  For when we live our values, we show National Grid at its very best.
