Absent of Corbyn lunacy in Whitehall, this is one that will make your pension fund happy.

On Corbyn - no f chance. Katie Price is more likely to be elected.

when labour finally implodes and Marx bros are gone, it does feel like this will fly
still feels like fair value should be 1100p

Investors Champion comment

International Grid
National Grid (LON: NG) is set to acquire leading clean energy developer Geronimo Energy to expand its presence in the US. The group will pay $100m, with potential further payments subject to successful development of the project pipeline. This adds to our argument that National Grid is being wrongly overlooked by those who are concerned about its exposure the UK energy market, where the company makes less than half its operating profits.

Anyone know if NG are involved?

Sooner this is done and dusted and JC is put back in his box, this share will recover quickly.

Listening to May in Grimsby --- She has something up her sleeve for next week!

About time!

You can hear JP now... 'No thank you Ofgem, only regulatory involvement in the UK as we are “evolving the group for the future” in the USA, so please remove NG from the projects tender list unless you increase the 'cost of risk' criteria.

Good article but the stats used paint a better picture than reality. It’s true that the five year deviation in share price is 5% ( where it was five years ago to now), but what it fails to point out is that the current share price is 30% lower today from where it was 2 1/2 years ago. In my view utilities are still out of favour and despite any future draconian policy OFGEM try to impose on the private Company and if Labour changes its view on mass Nationalisation ( a lot more centrist Labour MPs are making their moderate views heard and even if Labour eventually do suucceed into getting into No 10 the Marxist ideology may be voted down), then I can see this share getting back to the highs of 2016. It may take some time but there is IMV investment gains to be made. 🤞

Decent open quickly sold down !

Ll,

A 'Corbyn nationalising government' was never going to happen before the 7 now 8 and no doubt more Labour and some Tories come.
The Left wing will not govern this country with a majority in the next 30 years at least.
Labour have not made ground in the polls even with the Tories in a shambles! Corbyn's legacy could be the man who broke the Labour party, he certainly has made it unelectable.

The national grid HV network is designed with spare capacity and feeds both ways in the event so car industry or not, the status quo prevails.

NG. could turn out to be a good performer for 2019 and regain it's share price back up to around 950p?

[loss-leader] 20/2/2019 01:03

Maybe recent events play in NGs favour?- splitters reduce the chance of a Corbyn nationalising government?- Demise of car industry (sob) reduces stress on uk energy grid - so the lights stay on?Ll

So it was, for Washington's Birthday!

Didn't notice as just returned from a long weekend and checked the US charts in the header which must be still showing Friday's data.

Comments still relevant but re Friday!

[davr0s] 18/2/2019 21:53

US closed today

[bountyhunter] 18/2/2019 21:35

...and again for the usual trick in the US post LSE close.

[bountyhunter] 04/2/2019 22:16

...and again on the US charts!

[bountyhunter] 31/1/2019 17:02

Look at the US charts, ...how often does this happen post London close! Must be money to be made on those moves!

[utyinv] 31/1/2019 16:33

M100 and Bounty,

👍

Who was it (somewhere above) claiming NG doesn't invest? It's only the 'big' projects like this that get some limited publicity.

It's £280m of the just under £1bn NG invested in Electricity infrastructure in the year to March 2018

Nemo went live around 2300GMT last night and is currently shipping 1GW (2.2% of our current demand) of filthy Belgian electricity to the UK. By filthy I mean around 344 gCO2eq/kWh rather than the 90g CO2eq/kWh French stuff.

Now the long wait for IFA2 to bring us lots more clean French electricity

Well Brexit hasn't stopped this...

This morning National Grid commenced commercial operation of NEMO Link, the UK's first interconnector to Belgium. The link will enhance security of supply on both sides and facilitate a greater flow of clean energy between mainland Europe and the United Kingdom.

Nemo Link is a 50:50 joint venture between National Grid and Belgian transmission system operator Elia. National Grid's share of the investment was GBP280m and the 1,000 MW, 80-mile cable between Herdersbrug and Richborough, Kent was completed on time and under budget.
