Daily on Energy ⚡ — The latest details on cyber and physical threats to the power grid
DETAILS ON THREATS TO THE GRID: Attempted attacks on the grid increased nearly seven-fold between May 2022 and December 2022, according to a new report from the North American Reliability Corporation. This includes physical attacks—such as vandalism, assault, and ballistic attacks, but also new types of malware and ransomware by which hackers can seek to access the grid.
Why it matters: Recent physical attacks and attempted cyber intrusions on the grid have illustrated how vulnerable the grid remains to outside threats, especially as more renewable energy projects are brought online—creating a larger and more complex surface that is vulnerable to attacks. Justices ruled 5-4 that under the 1868 treaty the U.S. reached with the Navajo Nation, it is not required to provide the tribe with sufficient water supply. Writing for the high court’s majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that while the treaty in question “‘set apart’ a reservation for the 'use and occupation of the Navajo tribe' … it contains no language imposing a duty on the United States to take affirmative steps to secure water for the Tribe.
In Multnomah County, which includes the city of Portland, temperatures soared to a record-shattering high of 116 degrees Fahrenheit, causing extensive property damage and resulting in the deaths of 69 people. “This is an important step forward for 3M, which builds on our actions that include our announced exit of PFOA and PFOS manufacturing more than 20 years ago, our more recent investments in state-of-the-art water filtration technology in our chemical manufacturing operations, and our announcement that we will exit all PFAS manufacturing by the end of 2025,” 3M CEO Mike Roman told Bloomberg.
"We expect global LNG demand to grow from 399 million tonnes in 2022 to 627 million tonnes by 2035, more than a 50% increase," Michael Stoppard, the head of global gas strategy data at S&P Global Commodity Insights, told Reuters.
