Who we are

National Grid Ventures (NGV) is building the resilient and affordable energy networks of the future. We operate across the UK, Europe and US, developing, operating, and investing in large-scale energy infrastructure projects.  

NGV runs separately from National Grid plc’s core regulated operations and is focused on building and operating the infrastructure needed to generate and transport energy to keep the lights on for millions of energy users.  

Our diverse businesses include subsea electricity interconnectors, solar generation, competitive electricity transmission, battery storage, conventional generation and liquefied natural gas regasification and storage. We’re also developing emerging technologies such as offshore hybrid assets and hydrogen, which will play a key role in decarbonizing and strengthening our energy networks. 

Above all, we are a team of passionate, purpose-driven people committed to making a difference today and in the future by making the energy system better for everyone. 

Explore what we do

Competitive electricity transmission

In the United States we are developing and operating the large-scale infrastructure that moves energy from where it is produced to where it is needed most.

Electricity Interconnectors

NGV’s portfolio of electricity interconnectors allow zero-carbon electricity to flow efficiently between Britain and its neighbours.

GENCO

Through National Grid Generation (GENCO) we safely and efficiently operate a conventional generation plant that is vital to security of supply in the Northeastern United States.

Offshore Hybrid Assets

Offshore Hybrid Assets (OHAs) combine interconnector and offshore wind technologies in a smarter way, enabling large volumes of offshore wind to be simultaneously connected to GB and its neighbours.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen has the potential to play a major role in the decarbonisation of industry and we are involved in projects that support the development of a hydrogen economy..

In consultation

Before any of our proposed projects are given the go-ahead, we seek the views of local communities and other stakeholders. Take a look at what projects are in development near you.
