Why now?

Energy firms in the UK and Europe are under increasing pressure to secure, modernize and operate critical infrastructure in a more volatile, regulated and interconnected market. The UK energy market is undergoing rapid structural change.

Key drivers include:

Evolving UK gas dependencies

The UK has increased reliance on LNG imports and European interconnectors, reshaping supply dynamics and market volatility.

Gas supports renewable stability

Gas remains critical to balancing renewable generation, with renewed focus on storage capacity to provide flexibility and security of supply when wind and solar output is variable.

Critical infrastructure resilience expectations

Energy networks are now recognised as Critical National Infrastructure, with rising expectations on resilience and continuity.

Escalating cybersecurity threat landscape

Energy infrastructure is a prime target for cyber threats, driving urgency around IT/OT security and operational resilience.

Growing regulatory compliance demands

Regulatory pressure is increasing, with expanded focus on REMIT, market monitoring, and operational resilience frameworks.

Legacy systems increase risk

Legacy systems across trading and operations are limiting agility and increasing risk in a real-time energy market.

Real-time digital capability investments

Firms are investing in data and digital capabilities to enable real-time visibility across operations, trading, and risk.
