It's probably a good thing that there's going to be an investigation into the power supply incident and failure a few days ago which led to Heathrow Airport suddenly shuttering for most of a day. Especially as it's concerning that a Single Point of Failure resulted in the closure of a critical national and international transport hub.
The news article mentions that the National Energy System Operator (Neso) will 'investigate the incident and assess the UK’s energy resilience'. It also mentions that:
Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden is separately already leading a review of national resilience, which is due to report shortly. A National Risk Register published in January outlined the risk of attacks on the power network or critical failures.
The National Risk Register could be a few hours of 'fun' reading one wet Sunday afternoon. As well as being catnip for anyone either into collapsology as a sober science, or lost in the maze of conspiracy theories and disinformation a la the mid-2020s.
