Leading the Way to Net Zero National Grid is committed to combatting climate change and taking steps toward a clean energy future. As part of its Net Zero by 2050 Plan, the company has interconnected more than 1,177 megawatts of renewable distributed generation projects. National Grid also is working with the New York Power Authority to build the Smart Path Connect project, a $1 billion transmission upgrade that will enable the integration of 1 gigawatt of renewable energy to the grid. In addition, National Grid has proposed nearly $700 million in short-term transmission upgrades in upstate New York that would unlock roughly 2.6 gigawatts of clean energy resources.
