Government's emergency energy plan could bring blackouts this winter

The Government has put together an emergency energy plan which could bring blackouts this winter. The measures would be put in place to tackle cold weather gas shortages.

Households in Britain, under a worst-case-scenario report, could be without energy for four days. The plans would be to conserve gas supplies due to a fall in imports from Norway and France, Bloomberg reported.

The information comes after fears energy bills could climb to around £3,582 in October as inflation skyrockets to 13%. The runaway costs are largely due to the soaring price of energy, after the Ukraine conflict has pushed gas prices up, reports MirrorOnline.
