An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a when the input power source or fails. A UPS differs from an auxiliary or or in that it will provide near-instantaneous protection from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteri.

Many large batteries, which store solar and wind energy for later use, are made in China. Without these, the UK could have trouble keeping power when the sun isn’t shining, or the wind isn’t blowing..

- UK accelerates low-carbon transition via solar energy but relies on China for 68% of 2024 panel imports, creating ethical and geopolitical risks. - China dominates 80% of polysilicon production (including 40% from Xinjiang, linked to forced labor concerns) and 70% of global solar inverter. .
China is one of the biggest producers of solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage systems. Many of the UK’s renewable energy projects rely on Chinese-made parts because they are cheaper and widely available; therefore, if China decided to stop supplying these materials, the UK could face.
