Answered by Michael Shanks
Maintaining a secure and resilient energy system is a top priority for Government. We work continually with industry to improve and maintain the resilience and security of energy infrastructure, considering a range of evolving risks and hazards – including changing climate.
The National Energy System Operator, an independent technical body, delivers resilience functions, including understanding and planning system resilience.
