National Grid provides a compelling example of the breadth and depth of M Group’s capabilities for a single, major client, spanning transmission infrastructure, high voltage substations and mission critical digital networks that together underpin the UK’s transition to a low-carbon, electrified energy system.
M Group is a major delivery partner for upgrades of overhead transmission lines and substations, supporting the resilience and expansion of the UK’s transmission network. This is critical to enabling efficient renewable energy generation and electrification.
Our involvement in grid‑modernisation programmes is a response to the growing demand created by electrification and clean energy targets. Our capability spans both early‑stage design and pre‑construction through to full project delivery, ensuring efficient, safe and scalable solutions across complex schemes.
This work is complemented by wider Group expertise, including telecoms and data capabilities, where we provide 24/7 managed telecoms services for National Grid, operating the mission critical private networks that monitor, control and secure the electricity system nationwide.
