GMB, the energy union, has welcomed Ofgem's approval of £24 billion for energy network upgrades.
Gary Carter, GMB National Officer, said:
"This large scale investment is welcome and is required to upgrade the electricity systems and continue to provide safe gas networks.
"As well delivering new infrastructure and future clean home made energy investment will provide more well paid, skilled jobs in communities up and down the country.
"The big question is whether OFGEM is being ambitious enough to deliver the Country's energy needs?"
