To ask His Majesty's Government how many fires at electricity substations have been reported in each of the last five years.
Lord Wilson of Sedgefield
Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
Great Britain has a highly resilient energy network, and Government takes the protection of energy infrastructure very seriously.
4 substation fires have been reported to Government over the last 5 years. Such incidents are reported to Government when there is a potential or actual impact to customer supplies.
The Government works closely with the energy industry to ensure robust response plans are in place to mitigate the impacts of energy disruption.
