Switched on to your views
The local electricity network is your network. You pay for its upkeep and investment through your electricity bill.
Around 20% of a typical domestic electricity bill comes to us to operate the network for you. So it’s only fair if you get to have a say over what we do with your money.
From 2010–2015 we’re investing £1.4bn in your network, to keep bringing energy to your door.
That money helps makes sure that your network:
- offers you a safe and reliable electricity supply
- has equipment maintained or replaced as needed
- is protected against flooding and vandalism
- copes with increasing demand
- is ready for the future
We’re now planning past 2015, right up to 2023 and beyond. And we want to know what you think, to help us develop our plans.
