Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy Prices: Discussion

Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

On security overall, there is the physical security but there are also issues such as cybersecurity. We invest heavily in that area and have been active in it for many years. In recent years, there have been growing threats at a global level in that regard and we have continued our investment. With the continued growth in investment in IT systems and in smart networks, that is an area that is going to be of key strategic importance for us.

As for our physical infrastructure, our infrastructure is nationwide and we have tight security in respect of places such as our control centres, our main offices and so on. Looking at our infrastructure in general, it is not possible, given the length of network I outlined earlier, to have security around all of it. Nevertheless, we are investing in our physical security and keeping it under review.
