Comment on The British public deserves to know what UK Energy Secretary Miliband discussed with Beijing

Yeah I mean, a lot of upcoming BESS sites use Chinese batteries with Chinese controllers, it’s a bit more difficult to prove a vulnerability is being exploited there when you’re literally relying on hardware and software directly from China. But that’s kind of separate to this deal, it’s not the government buying Chinese equipment for the grid but businesses. Kind of feels like the article is talking about two different problems.

The government’s deals and MoUs with Canada, Ireland, Norway, South Korea and Chile have been made public, while a similar memorandum with the Chinese government haven’t been made public.

Yeah I agree that it needs to be made public, I just think that the infiltration of Chinese on the UK’s electrical network is another, separate issue on top of that. Rather than the two being directly related - or more specifically that some deal in the electrical sector is the reason why that memorandum hasn’t been made public. There’s probably some other reason the memorandum isn’t being released.
