From robot dogs to AI, all kinds of exciting new technologies are helping keep our electricity networks resilient, safe and efficient as we make the transition to cleaner energy.

Delivering a zero-carbon electricity system will require a fundamental upgrade of our electricity grid at a pace and scale not seen for generations. Discover the five priority areas where action is needed to ensure that the networks sector can help make a decarbonised power system a reality.

We’re the largest electricity transmission and distribution business in the UK, delivering electricity safely, reliably and efficiently to the customers and communities we serve, while working towards a cleaner, greener energy future.

We receive a lot of questions about how your household energy bills are made up, and which parts of your bill relate to National Grid.

The bill you receive from your energy supplier is made up of a number of separate charges. Some of these charges are based on the different stages through which electricity makes its way from the producers to your home, so we explain this journey and where National Grid fits in.

We’re building a smarter, stronger, and cleaner energy system to advance economy-wide electrification, support our customers’ clean energy choices, and help our states meet their net zero targets.

Britain’s high voltage supergrid was energised for the first time in July 1953, marking a new era in the way that electricity powered our country. Discover the technology, people and places behind the early supergrid, and how it’s still evolving into a network fit for a net zero future.

We’re looking for people with enthusiasm to help us build and run a cleaner energy system for the future. Wherever you are on your career journey there are lots of exciting opportunities to explore, including apprenticeships.
