State below in reasonable detail why forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Avangrid, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was unable to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Registrant’s registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its audit of the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting due to a combination of factors relating to the exchange of relevant income tax documentation between the Registrant and its registered public accounting firm. As a result, the Registrant is unable to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant anticipates that the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 will be filed as soon as practicable and prior to the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

The Registrant’s registered public accounting firm furnished a statement, as required by Rule 12b-25(c). A copy of the letter, dated March 2, 2017, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 12b-25.
