National Grid has a unique position at the heart of the UK’s energy system as we own the high-voltage electricity transmission network in England and Wales.
We also own and operate the high-pressure gas transmission system in Great Britain.
In 2021 Glasgow will host COP26, a crucial global summit to discuss how the world can unite to tackle climate change. National Grid is a Principal Partner and we’re excited to support the call for change towards a clean energy future.
