“It has been an incredible experience leading this project and collaborating with a forward-thinking client like National Grid on updating their AM Strategy. The challenge of decarbonising the UK’s infrastructure is vast, but by integrating best-practice Asset Management principles, we are ensuring that this transition is efficient, sustainable and resilient. NGET’s commitment to a net-zero future is inspiring, and I am proud to contribute to such a trans-formative initiative work with a forward-thinking client.”

National Grid Electricity Transmission PLC, is a Publicly Limited Company that own and maintain the high-voltage electricity transmission network in England and Wales.
National Grid takes electricity generated from windfarms and other power sources and transports it through their network of pylons, overhead lines, cables, and substations; it then goes on to separate lower voltage local distribution networks to support the United Kingdom’s electricity market.
The National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) team manage a vast portfolio of assets that span 7,000km and support the reliable delivery of electricity across England and Wales.
NGET’s proactive approach to asset management is articulated through its comprehensive Asset Management Strategy (AMS), which aligns with National Grids Purpose and Vision. Following updates to the ISO 55000 series and the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management (GFMAM) Landscape, NGET sought to ensure its AMS reflected the latest industry best practices.
AMCL, a trusted partner in AM, was engaged to support the enhancements of NGET’s Asset Management Strategy and Implementation Plan.
Leveraging deep expertise and robust methodologies, AMCL ensured that the updated AMS would meet the highest standards, align with current best practices, latest updates to ISO 55000 series, the GFMAM Landscape, and reflect the ambitions of NGET’s leadership team.
Throughout the project, AMCL provided constructive and forward-looking challenges to inspire NGET to aim for even greater levels of ambition and excellence.
In collaboration with NGET’s AM Team, AMCL adopted a structured approach, focusing on four key steps to achieve a seamless and effective update of the AMS:
Streamlined Document Structure
AMCL reviewed and refined the scope of the AMS to ensure clarity, alignment with NGET’s objectives and adherence to ISO 55000 standards.
Workshops with Key Stakeholders
AMCL facilitated a series of collaborative workshops with senior stakeholders. These sessions were pivotal in driving consensus, vision, and objectives, ensuring alignment.
Development of Final Document
Building on workshops outcomes, AMCL co-authored the final AMS document with NGET, integrating insights from industry best practices and the GFMAM landscape.
Implementation Plan Creation
Concurrently, AMCL developed a tailored Implementation Plan, ensuring that the strategy could be effectively operationalised and deliver measurable benefits.
The final document, endorsed by NGET’s senior leadership team, reflects a forward-thinking strategy designed to enable NGET to achieve its objectives, maintain its position as industry leader in Asset Management and help the UK to decarbonise its transmission infrastructure.
