Electricity can not be stored, it is generated on demand.   Security of supply is our main concern to make sure you have power when you need it. In 2006 we invested over £1billion in gas pipelines and storage, and we are planning to invest a further £1.2billion in the electricity grid over the next five years, to ensure the security of your gas and electricity supplies.

Security of supply along with Global Warming and energy prices are of primary concern for us and for our customers but provide us with a huge challenge as often the issues are contradictory. These issues bring us, fantastic opportunities to be innovative and to help set the agenda for the future of energy in the UK.
