A new stadium needs more power...
Workington’s football and rugby clubs are building a new stadium. One that can handle more games, more die-hard fans, and more reasons for the community to come together. But more of all that good stuff means they’re going to need more power. That's where The Great Grid Upgrade comes in.
And more power, means more pints.
Carlisle’s West Walls Brewing Co is growing. In 2025, they brewed forty different beers. Beers now found in 10 local pubs. But to keep growing and putting more pints in more hands, they're going to need more power. That’s where The Great Grid Upgrade comes in.
