National Grid

Operating at the heart of the UK’s energy system, National Grid Electricity Transmission plays a critical role in connecting people to the energy they use every day, while driving innovation to meet the challenges of a low-carbon future.

As a Patron, we are committed to supporting collaboration and knowledge-sharing across industries, helping communities thrive and ensuring energy networks are fit for the future. Through investment in infrastructure, technology, and skills, we are proud to play our part to transport secure, cleaner energy from where it is generated – like out in the sea by wind turbines – to where it is needed, boosting energy security and helping the nation become more self-sufficient.

With a strong focus on sustainability, diversity, and community engagement, National Grid champions initiatives that create long-term value for society and the environment. By partnering with organisations and stakeholders, we continue to shape an energy system that is resilient, affordable, and inclusive for generations to come.

“We’re delighted to join the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce and to work with its members to support the county’s growth, sustainability and innovation.

“National Grid is upgrading the electricity network across the country through The Great Grid Upgrade – the biggest investment in the UK’s electricity network for generations.

“The Sea Link project, proposed between Kent and Suffolk, will help deliver more clean, secure and affordable energy to homes, businesses and public services in Kent and beyond. By strengthening the network, the project will support the UK’s shift away from imported fossil fuels, improve energy security and attract clean industries and investment in skills and local jobs.”
