Centrii
A Purpose-Built Cyber Risk Platform for Renewable Energy
Centrii is the first cyber security platform built specifically for renewable energy, giving asset owners visibility, vulnerability management and compliance intelligence across solar, wind and battery storage estates that generic IT and OT tools were never designed for. Where most monitoring stops at the SCADA gateway, Centrii's Portal goes further, down to individual field devices, including make, model and firmware version. A real-site assessment using this approach uncovered risks invisible to the client's existing commercial scanner and firewalls, the kind of gap that generic security tools routinely miss on renewable infrastructure.

Humber Hydrogen
Powering Britain's hydrogen future from the Humber Humber Hydrogen will bring together established hydrogen projects across East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire to create Britain’s first integrated hydrogen transport and storage network. Across key sites at Aldbrough, Easington, Saltend, Immingham, Keadby and beyond - the region is uniquely placed to lead the energy transition. The Humber has long played a pivotal role in UK Energy Security, hosting nationally significant energy infrastructure that powers homes, businesses and industry across the country. Humber Hydrogen is our credible plan to strengthen energy security, decarbonise industry, support industrial competitiveness, attract investment and create skilled jobs.
SP Energy Networks
StormFlex: Harnessing Low-Carbon Flexibility to Strengthen Energy Security
StormFlex is SP Energy Networks' innovative low-carbon resilience service, designed to maintain supplies and strengthen energy security during severe weather and unplanned outages. Following the successful deployment of flexibility during Storm Darragh, where more than 15,000 customers had supplies restored significantly ahead of conventional repair times, StormFlex was developed into a scalable operational service. Working with generators, aggregators and flexibility providers, StormFlex secured an average of 140MW of flexible capacity during named storms. By utilising existing low-carbon generation and flexible demand resources, the project improves resilience, supports decarbonisation and provides a blueprint for future energy security across the UK.
SSEN Transmission and National Grid Electricity Transmission
Eastern Green Link programme: building Britain’s future energy backbone
The Eastern Green Link (EGL) Programme is delivering three new electricity superhighways between Scotland and England, creating one of the largest investments in critical national infrastructure in the UK. Through EGL2, EGL3 and EGL5 projects, the programme will strengthen the resilience and security of Britain’s electricity network while enabling enough clean electricity to power more than six million homes. Combining state-of-the-art HVDC converter technology, advanced XLPE cable systems and an innovative joint venture model between SSEN Transmission and National Grid Electricity Transmission, EGL is building the backbone required to support Britain’s future energy security, economic growth and clean power ambitions.
