United Kingdom – October 12, 2026 -- National Grid Electricity Transmission is moving new transmission connection applicants toward shared "bay sharing" arrangements that let multiple customers with requirements of up to 450 MW connect through common facilities.

Super Grid Parks use higher-voltage infrastructure for larger customers or more customers, with projects of around 150 MW as the target. They are aimed at new substations where future customer growth can be planned.
