National Grid’s Post

Delivering safe, reliable energy to our customers and communities across the Northeast US is our top priority. In the face of increasing extreme weather events, maintaining grid resilience and strengthening our networks has never been more important. We’re grateful for this support from the DOE Grid Deployment Office and look forward to working with Pointerra to identify and deploy the most cost-effective grid investments for our customers.

Earlier this week at the British Embassy Washington we proudly celebrated the #LGBTQ+ community alongside British Ambassador Dame Karen Pierce, New Zealand Ambassador Rosemary Banks, and our Chief #DEI Officer, Natalie Edwards 🏳️🌈🎉.   Our Pride employee resource group was also represented at the event. We commend their dedication to supporting our LGBTQ+ communities, resulting in: ✨ Over 50 volunteers from the US and UK leading Pride Month activities  🌆 Support for Pride parades across 11 cities   🌈👏 Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating #love, #acceptance, and #inclusivity for all. #Pride Month #Pride #NGPride

🤖 Following our recent #Innovation Day, we're excited to showcase how Artificial Intelligence is transforming our energy systems - from inspecting pylons to monitoring undersea cables 🌊 These advanced technologies are crucial for ensuring our networks are resilient, safe, and efficient as we move toward clean energy 🌱 👇 Discover the cutting-edge #AI solutions we're trialing and adopting on our journey to #NetZero! https://lnkd.in/djZB-tYA

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our inaugural Innovation Day at Tobacco Docks in London. Innovation has been part of our history since we connected the first integrated national grid in the world and it's only growing in importance as the entire industry scales up to shape the clean energy future.    With unprecedented demand growth from the increasing electrification and decarbonisation of global economies, the energy industry has a unique opportunity to innovate to meet those needs. The scale of growth means innovations are critical to help us build smarter, faster, more efficiently, and always with the customer at the heart.   Our innovation and venture capital arm, National Grid Partners, invests in startups to find solutions to the energy transition, and we’re now collaborating across the business to use many of these solutions. We started National Grid Partners with the goal of disrupting ourselves, but innovation can’t happen in isolation – it needs to happen within other networks and across the world.    Thank you to our National Grid Partners portfolio companies, speakers, and innovators outside of the energy industry who joined us to discuss how innovation and collaboration can deliver the energy transition, how we can scale innovation across networks, and innovative approaches driving progress towards net zero.     Statnett SF Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hitachi Energy LineVision TS Conductor IQ Capital Google Elena Fjørtoft Jake Oster Maria Ines Romero Navarro Alex Houghtaling Jason Huang Kerry Baldwin Neil Osborne   #NationalGridInnovates #Innovation #EnergyTransition
