National Grid lies at the heart of a transforming energy system, spanning the UK and the US.

Our businesses supply gas and electricity, safely, reliably and efficiently to millions of customers and communities. But we also drive change through engineering innovation and by incubating new ideas with the power to revolutionise our industry. 

Focusing on decarbonising the energy system

As the world changes to embrace cleaner energy and businesses shift to operate in a more responsible way, we are leading that charge. We are focused on finding ways to decarbonise the energy system; from building interconnectors to allow the UK to share clean energy with our neighbours in Europe, to investing in renewable energy generation in the US.

We connect people to the energy they need to live their lives. We continually strive to find a better way. We Bring Energy to Life.

The power of our business lies in our people

The power of our business lies in our people. Their expertise and dedication enables us to deliver to our customers. We are dedicated to supporting their ongoing development, wellbeing and to encouraging inclusion and diversity in the workplace, because we believe that everyone should be able to bring their whole self to work to allow them to achieve their full potential.

Making a positive impact

Making a positive impact is essential to who we are and what we do. Whether this means helping young people to become the problem solvers of tomorrow, supporting our customers to use energy efficiently or helping tackle global climate change, acting responsibility informs everything we do, every day.
