Reply to comment by pogidaga in How to safely ground this neutral wire by asuhayda

I titled this post wrong, I'm trying to ground the ground wire, not the neutral lol! Thanks for your reply though. The breaker box is not far from the wiring in the picture. Can I extend the ground wire and run it back to the box and ground it there? The box was updated and is properly grounded.

Yes, you can do that. If the main panel is new there should be lots of open spots on the ground bar inside where you can fasten your ground wire. Of course, you need to turn off the main breaker to work inside the main panel.
