It was a privilege to host senior representatives from Ofgem at our Shurton substation this week, including their Chair Mark McAllister, Akshay Kaul, Director General, Infrastructure, and Peter Bingham, Director of Systems Planning, Engineering & Technology. Once Hinkley Point C is completed, Shurton will connect the first new nuclear power station in a generation to the UK electricity network – connecting 6 million homes and businesses to low carbon energy. 🏠⚡ It was great to show them around the site and talk about our Hinkley Connection Project as well as some of our other vital projects in the surrounding area. Huge thanks to the teams at National Grid and Ofgem who helped to make this visit happen. We’re in a critical period of delivery to meet the government’s 2030 power sector decarbonisation target. We’re planning the work required in the second half of this decade, and later this year we’ll be submitting our business plan for 2026-31 to Ofgem. This price control will be crucial, as we’ll need to deliver multi billion pounds of investment so we can continue to connect clean, green and affordable energy to our network. 🤝We are committed to continuing to work together with Ofgem and wider industry to ensure we have the right regulatory frameworks in place in order for us to deliver our future network at the scale and pace needed for the energy transition.
