While the UK has diverse and resilient fuel supply at present, fuel supply chains are not currently subject to resilience standards.

However, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero's forthcoming Energy Resilience Strategy, due to be published later this year, is designed to strengthen resilience across the supply chain and will consider resilience standards alongside setting out government’s wider strategic priorities for resilient energy system.
