National Grid

The National Grid is the organization responsible for delivering electricity and natural gas from producers to homes and businesses across the UK. It manages and maintains the infrastructure—like power lines, substations, and pipelines—to ensure a reliable supply. The grid balances supply and demand in real-time, adjusting for fluctuations in usage or generation. Essentially, it acts as the network that keeps the lights on and the gas flowing safely and efficiently, coordinating a complex system to provide continuous energy to millions of people.
