Electricity Interconnectors: Data Protection
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help protect the security of sensitive data on multi-purpose interconnectors.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Maintaining a secure energy supply is a key priority for the UK Government. DESNZ works closely with subsea and offshore owners, operators, regulators, and other stakeholders to ensure interconnectors are proportionately protected against a range of threats – including cyber threats. This includes working with industry on data security, which is a critical part of a comprehensive approach to security of infrastructure.
