Here are the latest National Grid news highlights I can share right now (as of April 28, 2026):

• National Grid reports progress on major UK grid projects, including the energisation of new high-voltage circuits and ongoing offshore and onshore transmission developments aimed at improving reliability and decarbonisation. This includes recent updates from their UK press releases and media centre.[3]

• Key recent items include: (1) the energisation of a second new Dinorwig-Pentir circuit as part of a wider cable upgrade program, (2) the Eastern Green Link 4 project with significant supply-chain activity to support UK energy security, and (3) the construction milestones for a new 400kV substation at Wallend on the Isle of Grain in Kent to bolster resilience and capacity.[3]

• National Grid’s media coverage also notes expansion of the EV charging network to substation sites as part of decarbonisation, along with public updates about support for vulnerable customers and other utility initiatives.[5]

If you’d like, I can pull the latest specific press releases or summarize a particular topic (e.g., offshore subsea links, UK grid resilience projects, or grid-operator governance changes) with dates and key figures. I can also assemble a brief timeline of the most recent milestones.
