TranscoRedemption
of Special Share in NGT
National Grid Transco welcomes today's announcement
from the UK Government that it plans to redeem the Special Share in National
Grid Transco.
Following redemption NGT will
cancel the Special Share and amend its Articles of Association
accordingly.
The Special Share was put in place
at privatisation and it is the view of the UK Government and NGT that
developments in the regulatory and competition frameworks mean that it is no
longer required.
