Our Electricity Distribution Business

Overview

Working through the electricity distribution companies NEDL and YEDL, we operate and maintain the electricity distribution network that delivers electricity to more than 3.7m premises.

The network consists of more than 31,000 substations, around 29,000 km of overhead line and 62,000 km of underground cable.

Our role is to ensure a reliable, consistent and safe supply of electricity. Our area of operation covers 25,000 square kilometres, running from North Northumberland south to the Humber and Northern Lincolnshire, and from the east coast to the Pennines.

Please Note We do not sell electricity or gas. If you have any billing, metering or price queries, or if you are moving house, contact your electricity supplier. The address is on your electricity bill. For a list of electricity suppliers, consult the energywatch website.
