Blackouts may be imposed on cold weekday evenings between 4- 7pm. How real might this be and how will you prepare/cope?
Blackouts may be imposed on cold weekday evenings, National Grid chief warns
The warning from the head of the National Grid follows the electricity and gas systems operator outlining unlikely scenarios when blackouts may take place this winter.

John Pettigrew, the National Grid chief, said blackouts would have to be imposed during the "deepest darkest evenings" in January and February if electricity generators did not have enough gas to meet demand, especially if there is a period of cold weather.
His comments were made at the Financial Times's Energy Transition Summit on Monday.
Earlier this month, the National Grid had put the country on notice that the chances of gas shortages in winter have risen and that planned three-hour power blackouts could be imposed in some areas, in the "unlikely" event supplies of gas fall short of demand.
