National Grid Unveils Its Northeast Clean Energy Vision

September 19, 2022

Kicking off Climate Week NYC, National Grid launched its Northeast Clean Energy Vision today [link to release]. This is a future where large-scale, clean energy hubs populate the region, accelerating the clean energy future.

National Grid is developing a large-scale, clean and fossil-free energy hub across the entirety of Long Island. This can serve as an innovation beacon for the region and the entire US. The Long Island clean energy hub outlined in the vision will contain four key components working together:

1. Developing more clean and carbon-free energy from offshore wind and solar sources;

2. Using renewables to create clean hydrogen to fuel power plants and heat homes;

3. Bringing more battery storage online to store wind and solar energy for later use; and

4. Modernizing and expanding transmission networks to deliver clean and carbon-free energy to customers and communities.

The Northeast Clean Energy Vision builds on National Grid’s fossil-free goals to replace natural gas with renewable fuels by 2050. Watch the video below to learn more about it:

Will Hazelip, President of National Grid Ventures, US Northeast, will speak on this at The Nest Summit on Wednesday, September 21.

"National Grid is honored to join The Nest Summit Campus this year, a forum where we can all join together to find climate solutions. National Grid is focused on decarbonizing the Northeast and enabling a fossil free tomorrow, but we can’t do it alone. Together, we must face the climate reality head on," says Will Hazelip.
