Working to modernise the UK's Energy Infrastructure

AECOM has been recently appointed to provide design and consenting services for the UK's National Grid's Great Grid Program, in a joint venture with Arup.

This £9bn initiative aims to enhance the electricity transmission network, ensuring the integration of renewable energy sources, including offshore wind farms, into the grid by 2030, which will also support future projects beyond 2030.

The project focuses on upgrading infrastructure to meet future energy demands, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and support the UK's net zero emissions target.
