Electricity network operators have not experienced unusual levels of power cuts over that period.
An ENA spokesperson comments:
“Network companies are aware of the increased threat level relating to cyber-security and work closely with Government and across industry to prepare for any attack. They regularly review their cyber-security policies to ensure that the right measures are in place to counter any potential threat, both now and in the future.
“Through Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and industry working groups, network companies have established ways of identifying, assessing and responding to long-term cyber-security threats in a co-ordinated way. This includes benchmarking cyber-security standards, developing of common standards and ensuring that those people working for network companies and their supporting supply-chain understand the role they play in managing threats.”
