 because of the many talented people I have had the privilege to work with and learn from.

"With our position as a leader in energy networks across the UK and US assured, we are well placed to take advantage of the growth opportunities ahead. I am delighted to hand over to Zoë Yujnovich who has all the attributes required to deliver on the significant growth opportunity ahead and to guide National Grid on the next stage of its journey.

"There is still much to deliver before I retire from my role in November. Until then I remain fully focussed on ensuring we don't miss a beat and that I leave National Grid in the strongest possible position."

Zoë Yujnovich, Chief Executive Designate, National Grid said:

"I am honoured to have been selected as National Grid's next Chief Executive. I look forward to building on the tremendous work of John Pettigrew and everyone at National Grid in establishing it as a world-leading business with the strongest of foundations.

"I firmly believe in the vital function energy companies play in driving change and creating value. On both sides of the Atlantic National Grid has an essential role to play in making energy secure, affordable and reliable for our customers and communities. I'm excited about leading National Grid as it delivers on the growth opportunities ahead."**
