Who is the energy distributor in Huddersfield?
Who distributes electricity in Huddersfield?
In Huddersfield your electricity distributor is Northern Powergrid.
A distribution network operator is responsible for the cables and towers which carry electricity across the UK and make up the electricity distribution system. Electricity starts in the national transmission network and ends up (if all goes to plan) in your home or office, where you can use it. The fact that customers donโt deal directly with their distribution network operator means that most of us have no idea how the system works or who the distribution network operators even are. That being said, it might be important to know how to get in touch with your local DNO in Huddersfield .
