National Grid Plc is fending off “huge amounts” of cyber-security threats, though only a handful have penetrated the company’s computer systems, Chief Executive Officer Steve Holliday said.
The U.K. electricity-grid operator -- which also owns and operates power and gas networks in New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island -- has identified some attacks from the Middle East and “a lot from China,” Holliday said in an interview at a Bloomberg New Energy Finance conference in London.
