Looking After The Grid (Marina Ventura Energy Explorer)

The electricity we use is generated using fossil fuels like gas, coal and biomass, from nuclear power and from renewables like water, solar and wind. It’s delivered to where it’s needed over an enormous grid with 7,000 kilometres of overhead lines and 600 kilometres of underground cables.
There are several thousand people in the UK who work to keep the grid running smoothly - they come from all backgrounds and from across the UK. You could say it’s quite an electrifying career!
Marina Ventura: Energy Explorer is made with support from Grid for Good by the National Grid.
