According to a recent LinkedIn post from Neara, the company has used its physics-enabled digital modelling technology to simulate the impact of 100 mph winds on more than 16,000 km of the U.K. power network. The analysis suggests that over one-third of the grid could be vulnerable to outages during an extreme “super storm,” highlighting systemic weather-related risk to ageing infrastructure.

The post indicates that utilities in the U.K. and Europe are working to strengthen grid resilience, while industry bodies such as the Energy Networks Association, Ofgem, ENTSO-E, and EU DSO Entity are emphasizing more proactive vulnerability testing. Neara’s focus on scenario modelling positions its technology as a potential decision-support tool for targeted prevention and repair, which could support future demand for grid-analytics solutions as climate-related risks intensify.
The company’s work being referenced in sector media, including coverage in Utility Week, points to growing visibility among utility stakeholders. For investors, the emphasis on resilience planning and data-driven risk assessment may signal a favorable environment for specialised infrastructure-modelling platforms, particularly as regulators and network operators seek scalable methods to anticipate and mitigate outage risks.
