What we do

We invest in provocative visions and disruption in the energy sector. This spans small, fast growing companies, with a couple inching their way to profitability. These companies target everything from wireless charging and residential solar to distributed energy and next-generation transportation, such as hyperloop systems.

Our first focus is on innovation inside National Grid – not only incremental improvements, but those that can drive dramatic revenue and market advantages. To support internally grown opportunities, we’ve created innovation, incubation, and business-development teams.

Our teams bring the best innovative practices to our business units; scout for fresh ideas; coordinate the great work already underway; and accelerate progress through rapid prototyping, fast customer feedback, and rigorous business-model evaluation. The goal is to abandon low-return concepts as quickly as possible to make room for truly disruptive ideas.

The second area of focus is outside our walls. We want to find fast-growing companies that complement what we do, invest in them, and incorporate their technologies where and when it gives us an advantage.
