National Grid to lose Great Britain electricity role to independent operator
The Guardian says the government plans to strip National Grid of its role keeping Great Britain’s lights on as part of a proposed “revolution” in the electricity network driven by smart digital technologies.
The FTSE 100 company has played a role in managing the energy system of England, Scotland and Wales for more than 30 years (Northern Ireland has its own network). It is the electricity system operator, balancing supply and demand to ensure the electricity supply. But it will lose its place at the heart of the industry after government officials put forward plans to replace it with an independent “future system operator”.
