Why It Matters

National Grid USA Service Co. Inc. is lobbying on Energy/Nuclear issues through a new lobbying registration with Invariant LLC. National Grid has reported $760,000 over four quarters.

By the Numbers

Signed September 10, the filing reports Energy/Nuclear activity, $0 in filing amount, no legislation listed, and a blank specific-issues-lobbied field. A second-quarter 2022 filing reported $70,000 and listed six lobbyists: Rich Lopez, Rick Murphy III, Cindy Brown, Frank Steinberg, Kristina Dunklin and Ryan McConaghy.

Broader Context

A bipartisan House framework addressed permitting for transmission lines, pipelines and other power projects amid rising energy demand. Related records cover transmission authority, electric-grid requirements and changes to clean-energy tax credits.

Between The Lines

A September 2 hearing titled “Ten Pieces Of Legislation” appeared in an energy-and-nuclear search. House communications also addressed load forecasting, data-center electricity demand and large-load grid-connection costs.

The Bottom Line

The registration marks a new Invariant client relationship within National Grid’s existing energy-focused lobbying record. Its immediate disclosure is limited: $0 reported, no listed legislation and no specific issues described.
