Supporting communities in the geographical area served by Northern Powergrid
Most of the communities supported by the Northern Powergrid Foundation to date have been those worst hit by the winter storms of 2021-22 and sought support to become energy resilient during emergency events.
These diverse communities across Northern Powergrid's operating region of the North East, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire are delivering unique and exciting projects that will have a lasting impact by enabling hubs to be self-sufficient in supporting their residents today, tomorrow and in the future.
Projects supported include the establishment or the expansion of community hubs so that the likes of community halls and parish halls can play a vital role in keeping their community safe and warm during power interruptions with the introduction of solar panels, heat pumps and generators.
Watch our film to see our story so far.
Are you a community that is wanting to increase energy resilience? Perhaps reduce fuel poverty in the community? or prepare the energy network for the future? Please read on to find out how those that have received support from the Foundation are delivering benefits to their community.
