Would a national grid count as one infrastructure system?

Electricity interconnection and separate control areas create different ways to define one infrastructure system.

Question

Would Britain's national electricity grid qualify as one connected item in the transfer-to-1875 scenario?

Short answer

Yes. The answer accepts the grid as one system despite segmented control, using shared supply between Scotland and London as its example.

Notes

The infrastructure-transfer rules prompt a separate question about whether a national electricity grid counts as one connected system. Segmented control is distinguished from physical interconnection. Scottish hydroelectric generation meeting a rise in London demand is used to illustrate the connection. On that basis, the British grid is accepted as one item within the scenario.
