Real pleasure to take colleagues from a number of think-tanks and charities around our Viking Link interconnector today. This world record-holding site is a testament to the over four decades of experience National Grid has in building and operating interconnectors. Experience that’s invaluable as we move to a future of multipurpose interconnectors and, even further in the future, a meshed offshore grid 🌊 Rob Rome Philip Sandy Louise Schmitz Tim Hewish Scott Couldridge Blanche Shackleton Doug Parr Ned Hammond Verner Viisainen Virginia Sentance MBE Lindy Fursman

At National Grid, we couldn’t connect our customers with the energy that powers their lives without a field force of thousands servicing our cities and towns across Massachusetts. These dedicated, highly trained individuals are first responders - deployed to restore power in dangerous conditions like winter nor’easters and summer storms. The work they do, often at night, on weekends and over holidays, keeps the lights on for our homes and businesses and helps deliver a stronger, smarter, cleaner electric network. Over the past year, more than a dozen significant weather events impacted our network, including a mid-December storm that knocked out power to almost 200,000 customers. Thanks to our field force of more than 1,400, power was back on within 48 hours to nearly every customer – a record-setting restoration effort recently recognized with an Emergency Recovery Award from the Edison Electric Institute. To all our lineworkers at National Grid and across the industry: Thank you for your service and sacrifice. As we begin hurricane season, we know the job won’t slow down. Your hard work is deeply appreciated by our company and our customers. We’re proud to have you on our team. #LineworkerAppreciationDay #ThankALineworker #UtilityHeroes #HurricaneSeasonReady

With UK Members of Parliament of all parties being sworn into the House of Commons today, collaboration between business, policymakers and regulators has never been more important for the energy transition. Transformation at the scale and pace of the new Government’s ambitions will require a genuine partnership that sees all of us working together. With that in mind, here are four things the Government should prioritise to accelerate the pace of decarbonisation: 1. Set a clear strategy for the energy system, aligned to a long-term industrial strategy. 2. Accelerate clean energy infrastructure delivery through ambitious reforms on planning and grid connections. It was good to see the Chancellor take the first step on planning reform yesterday but more will be needed. 3. Partner with industry to build supply chain capacity and a skills pipeline. 4. Create the right governance and partnerships to drive net zero delivery, growth and jobs. If we get this right, there will be huge opportunities for economic growth, jobs, security of supply and lower bills. At National Grid, we are already delivering the largest overhaul of the networks in generations, investing over £30bn in the UK’s energy future in the next 5 years. I am looking forward to working with the new Secretary of State and the new UK government to continue to drive forward the UK’s energy transition.
