Energy Resilience

A framework for UK business preparedness

The recent power outage across Spain and Portugal demonstrates the vulnerability of modern energy infrastructure and highlights critical questions for UK businesses. This white paper analyzes the causes and impacts of the Iberian blackout, examines parallel vulnerabilities in the UK grid system, and provides a comprehensive framework for business energy resilience. Drawing on data from National Grid, Ofgem, and the International Energy Agency, we present actionable strategies to mitigate risks, ensure operational continuity, and maintain competitive advantage in an increasingly strained energy landscape.
