The UK’s largest electricity distribution business has pledged to become a net zero organisation by 2028.

The Bristol-based firm, which was acquired by National Grid for £7.8bn from US energy giant PPL Corporation last year, said more than half of its carbon emissions (57%) come from fuel consumed by its vehicles and generators.
