Household electricity bills could be cut by over £400 a year if the October clock change is scrapped, a heating expert has claimed.
Professor Aoife Foley, of Queen's University Belfast, says the cost of living crisis has become an "energy war" and axing the clock change would dramatically reduce demand at peak times. The clean energy specialist has said the move would save households £1.20 a day.
The proposed solution comes as UK households brace for power cuts after the National Grid warned three-hour blackouts could be imposed on 'really, really cold' winter days.
