From John Pettigrew, Chief Executive Officer,
“Last year was an important year for National Grid. We invested record capex of £4.5 billion delivering a safe and reliable service for customers. We made significant progress in the year, with the successful completion of the UK Gas Distribution transaction, a good outcome on the rate filings in the US and a positive conclusion to important regulatory reviews in the UK. National Grid is well positioned for the future with a rebalanced, higher-growth portfolio, and we are actively taking steps to evolve the business to meet the changing needs of our customers.”
