We've always powered what's possible

Innovation is in our DNA.

We built the first connected electric grid in the world and we haven’t stopped since.

Today, we continue to anticipate tomorrow to deliver a better energy future for our customers and communities.

Delivering for you

Our vision is reliable energy and resilient networks that are ready for tomorrow. And we back it up with a plan. How are we leading the way to a new energy era? We're investing in its future. Learn more about National Grid’s innovative role in the energy industry.
