Abstract
There are current worries surrounding climate change and with some of the effects already being seen, such as a rise in coastal temperatures and more extreme weather, greater research into how society will be affected is required. With the possibility of increased frequency and intensity of adverse or extreme weather there is a concern that this will affect the reliability of the electricity transmission network in GB which currently suffers from regular faults with a significant percentage of them caused by adverse or extreme weather. The research discussed in this paper focuses on extreme and adverse weather and its effects on the GB transmission network using data supplied by the three transmission companies that own and operate the GB network: Scottish Power Ltd., National Grid plc. and SSE plc. It also presents the beginnings of a relationship between weather types, mainly focusing on wind, and weather related faults.
