Hoover's coverage by Stuart Hampton

Overview

It's not gridlock but a lock on the Grid that is a good thing for National Grid. It is the sole owner and operator of the electricity transmission system in England and Wales. It transmits electricity through about 4,500 miles of overhead and underground lines to distribution utilities serving more than 52 million people. National Grid also operates the UK natural gas transmission and distribution system (serving 11 million homes and businesses) through its National Grid Gas subsidiary. However, it is the company's Northeastern US gas distribution and power generation, transmission, and distribution operations, led by National Grid USA, that bring in the bulk of the company's revenues.
