Power, Energy & Grid Resilience
Building Fuel Resilience for an Island in the Desert
Power and energy infrastructure faces growing physical and cyber threats across generation, substations, transmission, distribution and fuel supply. The rapid expansion of data centres is intensifying electricity demand and placing additional pressure on grid capacity and resilience.
