Answer
We have taken a number of measures to ensure the security of the UK's energy supply. I have introduced new electricity system balancing measures. Our recent national gas risk assessment demonstrated that our gas infrastructure is resilient.
In the autumn I will publish the Statutory Security of Supply Report for 2014. This provides a further assessment of our energy security and sets out my response to Ofgem’s recent electricity capacity report.
We also engage closely with EU and G7 partners on measures to increase the EU’s energy security.
