Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Energy Emergencies Committee has put forward proposals for an outcomes-focused physical network resilience standard.

Members of the Energy Emergencies Executive Committee (E3C) have developed proposals for an outcomes-focused physical network resilience standard. The standard will set public and government expectations and industry targets to guide planning and funding decisions by industry and the regulator, providing a consistent approach to emergency planning and management for both national and local severe weather events. This was a commitment in the Storm Arwen Review Final Report.
