Objectives	There are currently a number of industry and cross sector resilience publications, including frameworks that have not yet been utilised among the electricity networks. This project aims to compile and assess such reports that will enable us to develop a resilience assessment framework composed of both qualitative and quantitative resilience assessment models. The methodology will identify common, sector specific, forward looking resilience measures which will enable the electricity networks to confidently plan for future resilience requirements and move towards a future integrated transmission system in line with various industry recommendations. Work Package 1 (WP1) – Project input developmentThis phase of the project will develop the high level functional design of the project and the inputs to the resilience framework, the resilience assessment model including the system definition. Work Package 2 (WP2) - Resilience assessment model development and applicationThis work package aims to develop and deliver a resilience assessment model that can qualitatively and/or quantitively assess the future resilience of the transmission network against defined resilience measures and can determine the appropriateness of selected solutions to achieve the required resilience.Work Package 3 (WP3)– Resilience framework applicationThis work package will apply the resilience framework to output forward looking resilience measures in defined resilience categories for ET network owners. Each resilience sector will have clear criteria to be met, with multiple stages and ranks. Work Package 4 (WP4) – Stakeholder engagement This work package will focus on the dissemination and promotion of the tools developed in the project at agreed periods between the project partners. Stakeholder engagement will be helpful to ratify the inputs of the resilience assessment model and to socialize the outputs. To develop a resilience assessment framework composed of both qualitative and quantitative resilience assessment models that will output forward looking resilience measures applicable to National Grid ET and others within the electricity sector to help plan for future resilience requirements and effectively ensure the UK has a resilient and robust ET network.
Abstract	The resilience requirements of electricity networks will need to evolve with a changing energy landscape as society adapts how it uses energy to meet the 2050 net zero decarbonisation target and national infrastructure sectors become increasingly interdependent. This project aims to develop a resilience assessment framework that combines qualitative and quantitative resilience assessments and output forward looking resilience measures,: applicable to electricity network owners to help plan for future resilience requirements.This project is the first stage of work focused on the future resilience of the ET network.
