National Grid is Working at the Pace of Innovation
It’s now hard to imagine a world without the Internet, social media, tablets, and smart phones – yet these technologies have all been around for less than 20 years. Society embraced these innovations and they are now part of our daily lives.

National Grid on The Most Important Clean Energy Technology
As I talk to experts inside and outside of National Grid about the developments that will shape our industry over the coming years, one technology always stands out: energy storage. Batteries have more potential to accelerate the transformation to a clean energy supply chain than almost any other innovation.

National Grid- Smart Grid Programs in Worcester and Beyond
Let’s be honest. Most of our customers believe energy prices are too volatile and too expensive. Reliability might have been a differentiator for high-performing utilities in years past, but today, keeping the lights on is table stakes.

An Efficiency Game Changer
When I talk to our customers, it’s clear that many of them share the same top priority about electricity: when they flip the switch, the lights go on. Yet, I’ve learned that what happens behind the scenes – and what affects the service those customers see every day – is much more complex.

National Grid’s Case Study in Energy Innovation: The New Buffalo (NY)
For many years, Buffalo, N.Y. was the symbol of Rust Belt economic decline in the northeast. A once-thriving industrial powerhouse, the city and region suffered through a decades-long slide that seemed to have no bottom.

National Grid: Daylight Savings | No One Left in the Dark
Harnessing the sun to generate clean, homegrown electricity is brilliant. We know it is an important piece of a balanced energy portfolio. But after conversations with customers and other stakeholders, it has become clear to me that we mustn’t be blinded by the benefits of solar energy – it must still be affordable and accessible to all.

National Grid on Energy Awareness Month: The Transition Blueprint
Whether you call it a “balanced approach,” These shortages put New Englanders – including an “all-of-the-above strategy” or, as Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker put it, an energy “combo platter,” the bottom line is that New England needs everything: renewable energy, demand reduction, increased natural gas supplies, and electric transmission to connect us to remote resources.

National Grid on the Future of Storm Resiliency
The North Country of Upstate New York is home to some of the nation’s most severe storms. As global climate change continues to increase the frequency and intensity of these storms, we must improve crisis preparedness and response. We need to ensure that emergency services have the power they so critically need and that companies like us can focus on getting customers and businesses back up and running as quickly as possible.

National Grid on Investing for Impact: Energy-Driven Economic Development in Upstate New York
It’s no secret that Upstate New York – once recognized nationwide as a manufacturing leader – has yet to fully stake its claim in a globalized economy. What might still be a secret to some is how close the region is getting to reclaiming that leadership position. I won’t pretend to be an expert in the emerging fields getting us there: nanotechnology, advanced manufacturing capabilities, or anaerobic digesters enabling process waste to be converted into electricity, to name a few. But I can tell you, from my travels throughout our service regions, our customers understand them. In fact, they’ll tell anyone who’ll listen. At National Grid, we’ve made listening part of our mission.
