Community involvement
National Grid is committed to working with and supporting the local communities around its project sites. London Power Tunnels (LPT) is a seven-year, £1 billion project, to rewire South London via 32.5km of deep underground tunnels, which will help keep Londoners connected to safe and reliable electricity supplies for decades to come.
Once completed, the project will deliver a range of key benefits, including:
- Less disruption during construction as the majority of works will take place deep underground
- Future repairs and maintenance work can be carried out without disrupting traffic, residents and businesses
- Additional cables can be installed in the tunnels to meet future demand
To support communities around the LPT project, National Grid and our partners are delivering:
Outreach programme
An engaging and impactful outreach programme for secondary school students in the local area, promoting engineering careers for our net zero future
Community Grant Programme
Provision of financial support for local projects via our Community Grant Programme
Volunteer days
Hands-on support provided by the project team via volunteer days conducted in the community
LPT has a dedicated community relations team to keep you informed about our works, answer any questions you may have and share news about how we are investing in your community.
