What happened
Jacobs has been reappointed to the National Grid's Asset Health Intervention Programme, a five-year initiative focused on modernizing the U.K.'s transmission network. The program covers more than 800 transmission assets across the Central, Southeast, and Southwest regions. The contract value exceeds $13 million (£10 million), and Jacobs will provide multidisciplinary detailed design, design assurance, and construction support.

Why it matters
The initiative aims to renew critical infrastructure to meet future consumer needs as reliance on electricity increases. The modernization efforts focus on replacing and refurbishing aging substation assets to improve efficiency and support a resilient electricity network as the U.K. advances toward net-zero emissions.
National Grid operates within the U.K. electricity transmission business, which is overseen by the U.K. government.
