Decentralised System Resilience (Phase 2)
Abstract
This project constitutes a research study investigating the opportunities for gas network infrastructure to provide resilience solutions.
Organisations are becoming more reliant on electricity just as the grid decentralises, driving a growing need for stronger resilience against power outages. High profile outages such as those seen around Heathrow Airport and across Spain and Portugal in 2025 have brought the need for additional resilience solutions sharply into focus.
By engaging end users, DNOs, and other stakeholders, this programme will quantify the UK’s resilience challenge, build the evidence base, and determine whether there are opportunities for gas to play an additional role in providing resilience.
