Location:

National Grid ESO's direct operational responsibilities are focused solely on the electricity system of Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). While it is part of the wider National Grid plc group, which has operations in the UK and the US, National Grid ESO itself does not have an international operational footprint for system operation. It collaborates with international counterparts, particularly European Transmission System Operators (TSOs), on matters of interconnection, system stability, and best practices.
