A report by Lloyd’s of London and Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) warns that a catastrophic solar storm could leave the UK and the US without electricity for days or even months. Such an event could damage critical infrastructure, including transformers, leading to prolonged power outages due to the time required to manufacture and replace these components. The report emphasizes the importance of preparedness and resilience in mitigating the potential impacts of severe space weather events.
