Safeguarding the UK's renewable energy future: the growing cybersecurity threat

As the world’s second-largest user of offshore wind, the UK is at the forefront of renewable energy adoption, driven in part by its net-zero goals. However, while this shift offers significant opportunities for organisations in the sector, it also introduces hidden vulnerabilities. Small but critical solar and wind energy plants are increasingly at risk of cyberattacks, and a single attack could disrupt the entire UK energy grid. As reliance on these smaller renewable energy plants grows, the government, regulators, and energy companies must prioritise cybersecurity concerns to ensure energy security for the long-term.
