National Grid latest UK org to zap Chinese kit from critical infrastructure

UK National Grid has reportedly ended its contract with NR Electric UK (Nari Technology) and begun removing Chinese-made grid communication and balancing components following NCSC advice, citing cybersecurity risks. The action aligns with wider UK/EU restrictions on Chinese vendors like Huawei; however, the report offers no public evidence of compromise within the UK grid, referencing only prior alleged Chinese malware activity in other nations and broader concerns over potential state-compelled data access.
