National Grid:
an international electricity and gas
company
 50% US, 50% UK
Gas
 27,000 employees
 Distributes
electricity to 3.3
million customers
 Provides natural
gas to 3.5 million
customers
 Services 1.1 million
customers of Long
Island Power
Authority (LIPA)
Electricity
 Currently owns over
4,000MW of
generation

National Grid:
An international electricity and gas company
Gas Distribution - UK
Operates the UK gas
distribution system;
distributes gas on behalf
of shippers and suppliers
to 11 million consumers
but has 20m+ meters
Transmission – Electricity and Gas - UK
Owns the high-voltage electricity transmission system in
England and Wales and operates the system across Britain.
Also owns and operates the high pressure gas transmission
system in Britain.

Market Challenges
 Climate Change
 Reduce our emissions of greenhouse
gases
 Reshape markets by aligning
regulatory and public policy incentives
 Encourage energy efficiency
 Modernizing relationship with consumers
 Ageing Infrastructure and Skills
 Investment in Transmission and
Distribution
 Enhance ability to handle renewable
generation

Technology has a key role…
Smarter grids and smart metering
7
Smart technology means different things to
different people – a common language and
vision are essential
Smart Technology Definition
Technology that provides advanced information, automation and control capabilities to help us
to distribute, measure and use energy more efficiently, reliably, safely and sustainably – all the
way from the point of generation to consumer appliances

The prime logic for Smart Grid? – Customer and
Environmental Orientation.
The deployment of Smart Grid technologies will enable the shift in customer
behavior towards Energy Efficiency, Energy Management and increase Customer
Service levels.
With increasing volatility
in energy prices, and
climate change becoming
a more prominent public
concern, customer needs
are changing.
Customers need the
“tools” to play their part in
the shift towards a new
energy future.
The trend to increased
consumer choice and
control will be different
for customers dependent
upon their circumstances
and needs – more
segmentation will occur.
The “one ratepayer”
approach to serving
residential and small
business customers must
evolve, we will have to be
more innovative to satisfy
customers going forward.
