This analysis extends the work done on understanding social vulnerability to power cuts in England, so that we can understand the same vulnerability in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The initial analysis was based on indicators used by National Grid in their Mapping Customer Vulnerability analysis. Our analysis curently uses a subset of the indicators used by National Grid, but may be extended in the future for greater alignment.
