National Grid has an announced an overhaul of the grid, which will enable millions of UK homes and businesses to use renewable energy.
The overhaul has been called The Great Grid Upgrade and it will include new infrastructure being built across England and Wales.
By connecting more renewable energy from where it’s generated out at sea to where it’s needed by communities across the UK, The Great Grid Upgrade will also contribute to lower energy bills over the long-term, provide a catalyst for a green jobs boom and make the UK’s energy more self-sufficient.
Carl Trowell, President, Strategic Infrastructure, National Grid, said:
Our vision is a clean, fair and affordable energy future for the UK. The Great Grid Upgrade will play a major part in delivering this.
