National Grid has engaged in a significant asset swap with PPL Corporation to buy UK-based grid activities for £14.2bn (EV) and to sell US-based gas and electricity activities for £3.7bn. The group also plans the sale of its UK-based gas division and is thus shifting from a US growth-driven strategy to UK asset consolidation, and therefore moving towards greater exposure to the growing electricity market. A strategically promising move.
