Security threat: Britain is afraid of “spy” wind turbines from China

< IMG SRC = "/Uploads/Blogs/85/B0/IB-FQ58Ginh_DF4A499E.jpg" Alt = "Threat to Security: In Britain are afraid of & quot; spy; < P > Mi5 conducts an investigation to evaluate the threat from Chinese technologies such as solar panels, wind generators and batteries.

~ < P > The UK Security Service checks the role of China in the British energy system against the background of Beijing's influence on strategic national infrastructure. About this & nbsp; writes & nbsp; Financial Times with reference to your sources.

< p >It is reported that Mi5 is primarily concerned about China's potential access to confidential information that Beijing can get. This can be monitoring of marine activity, such as the location and movement of assets of the royal fleet. There are also concerns about the impact of China on strategic assets such as energy production.

< P > “This is related to an industrial strategy, with the general questions about where we get our things and with the threat to safety”, & mdash; said one of the British officials.

< P > According to sources familiar with the situation, Mi5 helps to determine how much the use of Chinese technologies, such as solar panels or industrial batteries, can pose a potential threat to safety in the future. The results of the investigation will be published within a broader “audit” of the UK and China's relationship later 2025.

< p >The publication also noted that this week, the deputies of the House of Commons faced a conflict through the proposal of a private Chinese company Mingyang to supply wind turbines for the construction of Green Volt wind power plant in Scottish waters. Some fear that Green Volt can be used for spy sensors.

< p > “Security experts warn that sensors can spy by the British seas, submarine construction programs and the location of our energy infrastructure”, & mdash; declared shadow minister of UK energy Andrew Bovi.

< P > Mingyang said it would open the turbine production plant in Scotland if it is selected as a turbine supplier for Green Volt. For its part, Green Volt developers claim that the turbine provider for the project has not yet been confirmed. At the same time Andrew Bowie expressed concern that the Ministry of Finance probably decided to give the green light mingyang.

< p > “This green revolution will have a label” made in China “. Technology controlled by China, introduced into our critical energy infrastructure, obviously poses a threat to our security”, & mdash; declared shadow minister of UK energy Andrew Bovi.

< P > As noted in the publication, the UK government aimed to decarbonize the country's energy sector by 2030. This will require a significant increase in the number of wind turbines, solar panels and batteries.
