According to a recent LinkedIn post from Neara, the company used its physics-enabled digital modelling technology to simulate the impact of 100 mph winds across more than 16,000 km of the U.K. power network. The analysis reportedly suggests that over one-third of the network could be at risk of outages during a nationwide “super storm.”

The post links these findings to growing strain on ageing grid infrastructure in the U.K. and Europe as extreme weather events become more frequent. It also notes that utilities and industry bodies such as the Energy Networks Association, Ofgem, ENTSO-E, and EU DSO Entity are emphasizing more proactive vulnerability testing.
Neara’s post positions physics-based digital twins as a tool to identify at-risk assets and guide targeted prevention and repair strategies before severe weather hits. For investors, this focus points to potential demand growth for advanced grid resilience and planning software, particularly as regulators intensify pressure on utilities to harden networks.
If Neara can convert this type of modelling work into commercial deployments with utilities, it could strengthen its recurring revenue base and deepen integration with critical infrastructure clients. Media coverage, including mention of the analysis in Utility Week, may also enhance the company’s visibility in the European energy sector and support its competitive position against other grid analytics providers.
