Zoë Yujnovich, Chief Executive of National Grid, discussed the company's $1.75 billion investment in Joulent LLC, a US developer helping to power a Microsoft data center in Texas, in a July 2026 interview with Bloomberg. She described the investment as a way to address growing electricity demand from data centers and the AI economy, emphasizing the need for speed and scale in connecting projects to the grid. Yujnovich noted that while many projects are in the queue, the pipeline narrows as contracts are established, and she said National Grid has solidified plans for $90–95 billion in investment over five years, underpinned by regulatory rate cases. At CERAWeek in March 2026, Yujnovich spoke with Daniel Yergin about the grid's role as either a constraint or enabler of growth, citing rising demand from data centers, re-industrialization, and reshoring in the US. She highlighted the need to rebuild grid infrastructure to connect broader supply sources like offshore wind and to address demand in areas such as London, Boston, and New York. She also said that failing to maintain infrastructure investment can lead to downstream affordability issues for customers.
