About Us
National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is at the heart of energy in the UK. We’re working to build a fairer and more affordable energy system, with Whole System at the heart of this approach. Energy is vital to every aspect of our lives. We use it to light and heat our homes, to power our computers and phones, to keep us connected with work and loved ones. We rely on it to keep us safe, to keep our hospitals running, our schools open and our water flowing. But as we look to the future, we must make the shift towards cleaner, renewable energy to both power and preserve our world.
As a nation, we’re working towards ambitious targets of Clean Power by 2030. At National Grid, we’re committed to helping Britain reach this target by building a cleaner, greener energy system.
