The attacks on two North Carolina electric substations have brought new focus to the vulnerability of the U.S. power grid and other critical infrastructure.
Workers work on equipment at the West End Substation, at 6910 NC Hwy 211 in West End, N.C., on Dec. 5, 2022, where a serious attack on critical infrastructure has caused a power outage to many around Southern Pines, N.C.
In November, five electric substations in Pacific Northwest were attacked and federal, state and local agencies are investigating those incidents. A substation in Clackamas County, Oregon, was damaged in a "deliberate physical attack" on the morning of Thanksgiving. Two substations in southwestern Washington's Cowlitz County were vandalized in mid-November, while another two substations in the Puget Sound area were attacked in late November.
