UK Power Networks

The area originally comprised three networks: the London Electricity Board, the Eastern Electricity Board and the South Eastern Electricity Board, known as SEEBOARD, before being brought together by EDF Energy to form EDF Energy Networks. UK Power Networks began operations in October 2010 after the sale of EDF Energy Networks to the Cheung Kong Group for a reported £5.5 billion. In 2011 UK Power Networks was awarded £6.7 million by Ofgem for its Flexible Plug and Play project, in which it was researching new ways, technical and commercial, to connect renewable energy to the distribution network in Cambridgeshire. It was awarded £25 million in 2014 from Ofgem's Low Carbon Networks Fund for the Low Carbon London project. ==Ownership==
