<p>The Government conducts regular assessments to identify risks to energy supply
including through the National Risk Assessment and National Security Risk Assessment
processes. Government works closely with the supply industry and other stakeholders
to ensure there are appropriate mitigation measures in place to strengthen resilience
and to protect against risks where it is possible and value for money to do so. For
example, supplies of power, gas and fuel across the country were robust to the major
flooding earlier this year (though power supplies to flooded properties must be disconnected
for safety reasons).</p><p>Further, in the event of a situation which threatened to
disrupt energy supplies to customers, Government and industry have robust plans in
place to manage and respond to such events, which are exercised on a regular basis.</p><p>
