The National Grid network is made of high-voltage power lines, gas pipelines, interconnectors, and storage facilities that together enable the distribution of electricity. The grid ensures that all areas of Said country have power/gas/oil products. this also allows more efficient power generators like nuclear plants to contribute more to the power grid than just where they are located.
