Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help improve the (a) resilience and (b) reliability of the electricity distribution network.

Government works closely with industry, regulators and other stakeholders to continually improve and maintain the resilience and reliability of electricity infrastructure, networks and assets. This is to reduce vulnerabilities and ensure an effective response to actual or potentially disruptive incidents. Energy resilience is a top priority for Government which is why my Department will publish an Energy Resilience Strategy in 2026.
