UK Power Networks

Client case studies

UK Power Networks owns and maintains electricity cables and lines across London, the south-east and east of England, making sure your lights stay on. It manages the local power lines that bring electricity from the national grid to homes and businesses, with 18 million people in its network areas. UK Power Networks is a big business helping to tackle net zero, and with climate change at the forefront of the political agenda, the energy and environment policy information that comes out of Parliament needs to get to the UK Power Networks public affairs team sooner rather than later.
