As Great Britain’s electricity system operator, we move electricity around the country to where it’s needed, when it’s needed.

We have a vital role. Think about all the ways in which we use electricity, from charging our appliances, to powering our homes, schools and businesses - we keep Britain running.

It’s thanks to our team of amazing people that we have one of the most reliable electricity systems in the world.

We work with a whole range of experts, including engineers, academics and industry professionals so that we can safely deliver affordable and clean energy to customers.

As we build a greener electricity system of the future, one that can run on zero carbon by 2025, our people know they are shaping the future for generations to come.
