As solar PV assets continue to grow in scale and strategic importance, so too do the security challenges they face. Join the authors of new Energy Institute guidance, Katie McCann and Dale Smith (Crisis24), for an in-depth webinar exploring practical, risk-based approaches to solar site security. The guidance aims to help stakeholders identify, assess and manage security risks across the full lifecycle of utility-scale solar PV projects, from development and construction through to operation and decommissioning.
The authors will highlight key findings from industry engagement, discuss emerging threats such as theft, insider risks and cyber security challenges, and explain how the guidance can be used to develop proportionate and cost-effective security strategies. Participants will also gain insight into the guidance's practical tools, including the security risk assessment process, the five security principles of Deter, Detect, Delay, Disrupt/Respond and Recover, and the seven-step security assessment methodology.
A particular focus of the session will be the new Solar Site Security Assessment Questionnaire, including how it can be applied in practice to identify vulnerabilities, prioritise improvements, and support informed security decision-making. The authors will walk attendees through the scoring approach, weighting system and worked example provided in the guidance, as well as demonstrate the accompanying Excel-based assessment tool.
Whether you are a developer, owner, operator, investor, insurer, O&M provider, security professional or regulator, this webinar will provide valuable insights into current security challenges and practical steps to improve the resilience of solar PV facilities.
Who should attend?
Developers, asset owners, operators, O&M providers, investors, insurers, security specialists, consultants, regulators and anyone responsible for managing security risks at solar PV sites.
