Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has ordered an urgent investigation into the power outage caused by a substation fire that shut Heathrow Airport on Friday.
The investigation, led by the National Energy System Operator (NESO), would build a "clear picture" of the incident and UK's energy resilience more broadly to prevent it "from ever happening again", the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said.
"We are determined to properly understand what happened and what lessons need to be learned," Miliband said.
The fire at the North Hyde substation in west London that supplies power to the airport led to thousands of cancelled flights on Friday and stranded passengers across the world.
