The pre-war National Grid system was vastly expanded, and many new power stations were opened, across the region.

About five years later it succeeded, and a coastal wave generator on the west coast of Norway began pumping electricity into Norway's national grid system.

Hirst was also instrumental in setting up the National Grid system which provides power to the whole of the UK.

The lack of a unified national grid system hampers the efficiency of power generation nationwide and heightens the risk of localised shortages.

Nelson and Marlborough were the last regions to join the national grid system when a transmission line between Inangahua and Stoke was completed in 1955.

The district is linked with Pakistan's national grid system; however, the responsibility of Distribution lies with the Electricity Department of AJK.

The central government has made creation of a unified national grid system a top economic priority to improve the efficiency of the whole power system and reduce the risk of localised energy shortages.

Having identified these triad period half hours, it then charges each of the energy supply companies according to their average peak loads in GW on the national grid system during those three half hour periods.

These latter can cause surges of several GW which whilst larger in magnitude than the sudden loss of 2 x 660 MW sets, are not instantaneous and so are not as severe a shock to the national grid system.

Within 24 hours of being elected, Ashraf held a meeting to resolve the energy crisis in the country and directed the Ministry of Petroleum to ensure the supply of 28,000 tonnes of fuel daily to power plants, so as to add 1200 mega watts to the national grid system.

The costs of operating the National Grid System are recouped by National Grid Electricity Transmission plc (NGET) through levying of Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) charges on the users of the system.

Companies such as Armstrong Whitworth and Boulton Paul manufactured and supplied complete generating sets (both the engine and generator) from the 1900s to the late 1920s, when the formation of national grid systems throughout the world and the replacement of the hot-bulb engine by the diesel engine caused a drop in demand.
