The POWER in my hand ✋🏻 This is a slice of Western Link sub sea cable. At 600kV DC and 2.25GW continuous rating, this segmented copper, paper / polypropylene HVDC cable is the highest voltage power cable in use IN THE WORLD and the highest power single cable IN THE WORLD 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😍

Power supplies have been restored to all customers connected to our North Hyde substation, including Heathrow, allowing operations to resume at the airport. We are now implementing measures to help further improve the resilience levels of our network. We are deeply sorry for the

1. The loss of power to the Heathrow area has caused major disruption to thousands of people and many businesses. We are determined to properly understand what happened and what lessons need to be learned.

2. That is why working with Ofgem, I have today commissioned the NESO to carry out an investigation into this specific incident and to understand any wider lessons to be learned on energy resilience for critical national infrastructure, both now and in the future.

NESO welcomes the government’s commission to review the power outage incident impacting Heathrow and surrounding areas. We will now work with all relevant stakeholders to understand the lessons that can be learned to improve future resilience of Great Britain’s energy system.

Don’t be in any doubt whatsoever here. It’s been publicly available knowledge for over a day and a half that Heathrow has Diesel back up generators. And that regardless of the fuel type, backup generators aren’t enough to keep the airport functioning. Farage KNOWS that.

James Watson CEng, FIET how many triangles can you spot … wonderful day for triangle counting 🙏🥰

A peerage for Mark Harper and a knighthood for Grant Shapps after these two former Tory Transport Secretaries needlessly extended industrial action that cost the economy well over a £1 billion & who both did nothing about the disgraceful P&O sackings. More rewards for failure!

Had the pleasure of meeting James today at Mill Hill substation. Learnt a lot about electricity transmission and distribution, and there's lots more to learn in his videos here too. Transmission towers are cheaper and better than underground cables!

4ZP and 4Z doing their thing on Blackstone Edge. The teenie tiny cross arm on the deviation tower must surely be the smallest on the grid? James Watson CEng, FIET pylonofthemonth

Visited Mill Hill electricity substation with (the ace!) James Watson CEng, FIET from National Grid. Learned why those huge transmission towers (mistakenly called pylons by most of the country) are actually more efficient and cheaper than underground cables. James's enthusiasm for

UK Power Networks was called to a fire at a substation in St John’s Wood, early this morning (29 April). This has not interrupted power supplies. Our teams are working with the fire service to make the equipment safe. This is an isolated incident and customers’ supplies were

Andrew Bailey 🧡👨‍🏫 James Watson CEng, FIET Yes it’s basically a claim that both companies and govt have a secret plan to spend much more than they need to.

We apologise for any inconvenience following a fault on our transmission network in central London this afternoon. The fault was resolved within seconds and did not interrupt supply from our network, but a consequent voltage dip may have briefly affected power supplies on the

How many IRTBs, conferences, ITT, working groups, endless Teams meetings, onboarding consultants, demonstrations, procurement, oversight, reviews, acceptance tests, tranches of AHs, SO1 & 2s, months/years of Badmin & biblical piles of cash would this take us?

This nails it - the MOD talks the agile talk, while the Ukrainians JFDI stuff...
