Liberal Democrat — Edinburgh West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 April 2025

Debate

Energy Grid Resilience

Contribution

I welcome what the Minister has outlined and his reassurances about resilience, particularly to a cyber-attack. However, there is also the danger that if we hand over the on/off switch for vital energy supplies to a foreign country, they can be switched off without our control. What mitigations are the Government considering for projects like the vast wind farm in the North sea for which the Chinese company Mingyang wants to provide the hardware?
