Resilience & Emergency Management
Our energy system is complex, with an increasing number of interconnections. This means that disruption to one part can have implications for another. But this complexity also provides us with more options to mitigate problems. A single organisation with the remit and expertise needed to identify, understand, and mitigate the possible risks facing any and all parts of the energy system, creates a more resilient and adaptable system with less downtime and disruption.
We provide whole system coordination and analysis for system resilience and preparation for emergencies across the Great Britain energy industry.
Key information
- Continuously spotting and assessing a wide variety of risks across Great Britain’s energy system, so that we can reduce vulnerabilities.
- Undertaking whole energy risk assessments to identify any vulnerabilities in the energy system and conduct whole energy resilience assessments working with industry partners and considering multiple energy vector interactions.
- Coordinating the preparation for emergency response across the energy sector and undertake investigations into specific events and emergencies across the system. Making unbiased recommendations for improvement based on learnings from past events, as we have no commercial interest in one source of energy over another.
- Providing insight and recommendations on security of supply though Seasonal Outlook Reports, Capacity Market and Resource Adequacy.
- Leading industry preparedness and compliance of the new Electricity System Restoration Standard (ESRS).
