About us

The British Energy Security Strategy set out the Government’s ambition to connect up to 50GW of offshore generation to the electricity network by 2030. Delivering this ambition requires significant reinforcement of the onshore electricity transmission network – and National Grid Strategic Infrastructure is leading the way. At National Grid, we connect homes and businesses to power, ensuring supply and demand are balanced every second of the day. From schools and hospitals to sporting arenas, we keep the lights on for millions across the UK. Through our investment in Strategic Infrastructure and the Great Grid Upgrade, we are enabling more home‑grown energy, strengthening energy security, and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable future.
