Martin Lewis has issued an important message regarding energy usage amid warnings that Britain could be facing three-hour blackouts this winter. Appearing on today's (Nov 15) episode of ITV's This Morning, the financial guru answered questions from callers seeking help amid the current cost of living and energy crisis.
One person who rung up said they had a question about switching to an economy-7 meter and whether this would help save energy at home and help the National Grid with electricity surges. The Money Saving Expert founder replied with advice that many other homeowners could take into account.
He said one particular way people could help to avoid blackouts this winter is by using non-essential appliances between certain hours. "We hope there will not be any blackouts, but there are emergency scenarios where short power cuts in different regions are possible, that have been put forward by National Grid," he said.
