Northern Powergrid Group Pension Scheme
The Northern Powergrid Group Pension Scheme was established to deliver pensions for the Northern Powergrid Group workforce. It functions as a section of the broader Electricity Supply Pension Scheme with Northern Electric plc as principal employer and Berkshire Hathaway Energy as ultimate parent. The scheme holds positions in CBRE Global Investors Property Fund, Columbia Threadneedle Real Estate Fund and Aegon Property Fund for UK commercial real estate exposure. It maintains an allocation to LGIM Infrastructure Equity and Securis Non-Life Fund for insurance-linked securities. Geographic focus centers on the United Kingdom with additional infrastructure holdings spanning global markets. Aon Investments Limited serves as investment advisor. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP acts as auditor and Squire Patton Boggs provides legal counsel. The scheme participates in the Aon Responsible Investor Group. The scheme maintains a defined benefit structure tied directly to the sponsoring employer group rather than operating through external fund commitments.
