Resources

National Grid’s Sustainability Hub provides educational resources about energy efficiency, sustainable practices, climate change and renewable technologies for National Grid’s customers and the community at large. It's important that we understand how the climate is changing and the tools we have at our disposal so that we can better prepare for the future.

We've gathered information and resources from National Grid as well as other sources:

Home Energy Saving Tips

  • Ways to Start Saving Today
    Recognizing that many of us are spending more time at home, we’ve created a comprehensive list of easy ways for you to cut your energy costs by making your home more energy efficient.

  • Heating and Cooling
    Both heating and cooling can have a big impact on your comfort—and your budget. Discover how to make them work better in your home.

  • Insulation and Air Sealing
    To save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs, make sure all ceilings, roofs, exterior walls, and wall cavities are adequately insulated.

  • Lighting

  • Water Heating and Conservation
    Conserve water and lower your energy bills with water heater upgrades and low-flow showerheads.

Energy Saving Programs

  • Heating
    Keeping your workplace warm and comfortable can mean huge heating bills, especially in the winter months. We offer payment plans for budgeting all year round, as well as rebates and incentives on energy-efficient heating technology.

  • Cooling
    Saving energy is not only for the winter months. During the summer, outdated air conditioning and poor sealing and insulation can waste energy, resulting in hefty electricity bills.

  • Lighting
    Lighting can make up 50 percent of a commercial building’s energy bill, but it is also one of the easiest things to change. LED and CFL light bulbs use 75 percent less energy, saving up to $200 for every five bulbs replaced.  

  • Cogeneration
    Managing the energy needs of a big facility can be a daunting prospect. We routinely work with commercial, industrial, and municipal customers to reduce energy costs on a large scale.

  • Kitchen
    Enhance the culinary experience and your bottom line. By replacing or adding energy-efficient equipment, you can improve performance and cut costs 10 to 30 percent.

  • Electric Vehicle Charging
    Partner with us to: install Level 2 or direct current fast charging (“DCFC”) stations or participate in a fleet electrification study.

  • Special Equipment
    Energy efficiency is not just about lighting, heating, and insulation. It’s about making your business equipment run leaner, greener, and smarter.
  • Connected Solutions
    We are committed to reducing peak electric demand on our system, and we need your help. Please join our Connected Solutions demand response program. By reducing electric use on request during periods of high energy demand, we can reduce emissions, infrastructure costs and utility prices.

On resource for students to look at is the Energy Explorer website. This website has numerous informational pages and videos where students and kids can learn about a variety of topics, including electricity and gas safety, energy efficiency, sustainability and ethics. Also, there are tabs where students can play a variety of games and activity pages to reinforce what they are learning. Then you’ll be on your way to becoming an Energy Explorer! Here’s the link.

Another resource available to students is the EPA website. There are many puzzles, games, and activities online involving many topics within energy, sustainability, and the environment (such as air quality, water resources, conservation, particulate matter, national parks, habitats, and waste). These activities are a great way to grow your knowledge and curiosity about the world and its resources. We highly encourage you to check out the EPA website dedicated to such activities.

In April 2022, National Grid launched a campaign for our clean energy vision. Winning the fight against climate change requires us to collectively achieve emissions reductions across multiple sectors of the economy – in how we generate electricity, fuel our vehicles, heat our buildings, and power our industries. This report describes National Grid’s vision and the steps we are taking to leverage our existing gas and electric networks to achieve fossil-free heat fairly, affordably, and reliably for our customers and communities.
