An independent investigation into Britain's National Energy System Operator (Neso) has identified significant cultural, governance, and control problems at the organization, according to findings released on Monday 1. The three-month inquiry, conducted by law firm Evershed Sutherlands, was triggered by internal whistleblowing allegations that Neso concealed blackout risks during a heat wave in June 1.
While the investigation found no evidence of improper interference with operational decisions, it revealed that control room engineers operate under substantial pressure and their concerns are not adequately prioritized 1. During the June heat wave, the power grid's frequency fell below normal operating limits on multiple occasions, necessitating emergency assistance from neighboring countries 1. Control room engineers had alleged that the grid was becoming increasingly difficult to manage, with corporate affairs teams intervening in decision-making to protect the reputation of the government-owned operator 1.
Ofgem, the energy regulator, announced it will conduct a follow-up investigation into whether these cultural issues affected operational decisions and energy costs, with results expected by March 31, 2027 1. Neso Chief Executive Fintan Slye responded to the report by characterizing it as constructive and committing to work with unions to implement improvements 1.
