A small-scale generator was taken offline for four days last month, with officials stressing the wider energy grid was never at risk.A small power plant in the UK was shut down last month after being targeted in a cyber attack, according to The Telegraph. The UK government confirmed the incident but said at no point was there a risk to the UK's energy system. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has since contacted power companies to warn them about the risk of cyber attacks. The Telegraph reported that hackers affiliated with the Iranian regime carried out the attack, which took place last month and left the facility offline for four days. Neither the government nor the National Cyber Security Centre – the body responsible for defending critical infrastructure – would disclose further details about the site affected, citing security reasons. Officials noted, however, that the target was not an essential service such as a large power station. DESNZ said the incident had affected a small-scale generator and that at no point had there been a risk to the wider energy system. The UK's power network includes a number of smaller gas generators that provide short-term power when needed. Protecting the country's energy supplies remains a key challenge for the government, which is updating its cyber security regulations and working on a new energy resilience strategy due later this year.
