Is National Grid down?
Checks passingchecked 2 minutes ago
Our checks of National Grid pass from all 4 regions we check.
As of Nov 5, 2026, 3:05 PM UTC, RealUptime's checks of National Grid passed in all 4 regions that returned a reading.
Our checks of National Grid did not fail from two or more distant regions in the 3 days we have checked it (since Nov 2, 2026). This does not show National Grid works for users.
National Grid publishes no status feed we can read, so the only reading here is our check reading on the left.
National Grid response time, by region
Check your own site while you wait on National Grid
Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not National Grid. It cannot diagnose National Grid's own systems.

These are unverified reports from people using National Grid, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for National Grid yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.
Recent probe events
No probe events on record yet for National Grid.
check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works
We have been measuring National Grid since November 2, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

How our checks compare with National Grid's stated SLA
At or above your target
Our checks of National Grid failed for none over the 67h 5m since we started checking it on 2026-11-02, which is 100% uptime by our checks. A 99.9% target allows 4 minutes over that period.
Our checks show no gap in this period. That does not rule out one you saw.
These figures come from our own checks of one public endpoint per service. They are not the service's real uptime. This is computed from our own checks, not from National Grid's SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.
What we check
What our check can and cannot see
A pass means the service's public web page loaded and answered normally. It does not show that the product, the API or sign-in behind it works; a page can load from a cache while the product is down.
