About GridPAC

GridPAC is the federal Political Action Committee for National Grid. PACs are made up of contributions from individuals who pool their resources to achieve a common goal. The PAC supports candidates for federal office who share our basic purpose, value, and vision on the business issues that affect us.

GridPAC is a voluntary, nonpartisan political action committee that is not affiliated with any political party, candidate or organization and is supported through contributions from employees of National Grid.

GridPAC is an important tool for supporting the company’s business goals and objectives. Federal regulations strictly prohibit National Grid from making direct campaign contributions to federal candidates, as well as to many state candidates. The organization is permitted to fund the administrative costs associated with operating a PAC—ensuring the total amount of all contributions to the PAC are used to help elect candidates. This is the reason the PAC is critical to our success in the political arena.

GridPAC is supported by employees who make personal contributions for the purpose of making donations to candidates for federal and state offices. Through the PAC, employees can speak with one voice so elected officials clearly hear our position on policies that affect the company’s ability to be competitive. A strong PAC allows us to help shape our future instead of having others do it for us.

No. Your contribution to the PAC is not tax deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes.

Public policy decisions made at all levels of government affect the way we run our business and impact our industry as a whole. To help make sure elected officials understand the complex challenges and opportunities facing National Grid and our industry as a whole, we created the GridPAC.

GridPAC allows us to support candidates and key policymakers who support National Grid’s mission, business goals, and, most importantly, the best interests of our customers and employees.
