The future of energy
Our projects
There’s a lot that goes into keeping the lights on and the gas flowing to our customers. Maintaining, upgrading and expanding our 33,273km of electricity network and 6,200km of gas pipes is not easy – but we’re up for the challenge. You’ll see our crews out and about in your neighbourhood, working on our networks to make sure they’re safe and reliable now and in the future. Behind the scenes, we invest in new technology and tools so we can work even more efficiently and make sure we invest in the right areas at the right time. Find out more about what we’ve been working on below, or read our Integrated Report.
