11 Mar 2026 National Grid Electricity Transmission plcNational Grid (NGET): 20 million GBP after neglected Harker substation €23.2m
Between 2016 and 2021, the transmission system operator did not adequately monitor, maintain and repair the civil structures of the 132 kV Harker substation near Carlisle – a hub for electricity exchange between Scotland and England – and thereby also delayed grid connections. NGET accepted the breaches and paid 20 million GBP into the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme.
Operators of critical networks must systematically inspect even the inconspicuous civil structures of their installations – a maintenance backlog becomes a threat to supply.
