Electric utility and energy trading.

  Am I assuming correctly that the idea behind this is that you self-host everything, to be isolated from energy failures that could have cascading effects? Or is it more due to security reasons to be harder of a target?

    As far as I'm aware (I'm not exactly central to our information security processes), it is more of the latter. Due to the amount of electric power we control, we, as a company, have been deemed critical infrastructure by the state and as such, we have to comply with rather rigorous information security standards. We do, however, also have an uninterruptible power supply for the most critical hardware.
