A new form of supply chain cooperation has been announced by National Grid, called the Great Grid Partnership, to enable a major upgrade of the electricity network in an alliance with seven major contractors and consultants.

Government decision making processes can hamper project planning and delivery. Construction leaders feel that too often, ministers ignore the wider benefits of individual projects. So what should the infrastructure sector do to help the government appreciate the benefits it generates?

Early proposed designs of National Grid’s Eastern Green Link 3 (EGL3) and 4 (EGL4) Scotland to England interconnectors have been opened to public consultation until 17 June.

National Grid has formally launched the 765km long land and subsea interconnector between Britain and Denmark with a capacity of 1.4GW.

All 116 T-pylons across Somerset have been fully wired up signalling a major milestone in the process of connecting the under construction Hinkley Point C to the grid.

Ofgem has proposed a £3.4bn funding package and fast tracked Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2), the offshore electricity interconnector cable between Scotland and England.

An expanded offshore grid and new North-to-South onshore electrical spine in Great Britain have been proposed by the Electricity Systems Operator (ESO) in its £58bn investment plan for the UK's power system to achieve the 2035 decarbonisation goal.

National Grid innovations to improve cable health monitoring, decarbonise rural communities and utilise electric plant in streetworks have won nearly £400,000 funding from the latest stage of the Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF).

The £400M National Grid project to upgrade and reinforce Yorkshire’s power network has been green lit by secretary of state for energy security and net zero, Claire Coutinho.

Powerlines needed to drive the UK’s transition to net zero carbon will have to be built in unpopular places, but the government hopes it can minimise the disruption, a minister has said.
