How Northern Powergrid's Unimog U530 helps keep the lights on

It's essential our linespeople can carry out their work safely, that's why we've invested in Mercedes Unimog vehicles to repair overhead lines and transformers.
From overgrown or fallen trees to everyday line maintenance, these machines enable us to maintain the resilience of our network, no matter the terrain.
Northern Powergrid is responsible for the electricity distribution network that powers every day life for 8 million customers across 3.9 million homes and businesses in the North East, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.
We operate a network of more than 63,000 substations and some 60,000 miles of overhead power lines and underground cables spanning 9,650 square miles.
We have a key role in society powering peoples' lives and enabling economic growth in the communities we serve. Every day we invest around £1 million on safely managing, maintaining and improving our network.
Northern Powergrid is taking action today to be ready for the demands of tomorrow. We're ensuring we have a diverse and skilled workforce ready to manage future energy systems that interact with growing levels of smart and low carbon technologies. Ground-breaking innovation projects are exploring new technologies and supporting our transition to a Distribution System Operation function and move towards more sustainable energy in line with net zero emissions targets.
