Short rolling power cuts could be brought in to save energy supplies in favour of blackouts this winter - which the Met Office has suggested could be colder than usual.
National Grid boss John Pettigrew has said it hopes the UK will have enough energy to meet demand this winter, but warned that short outages may be needed if other measures to preserve supplies fail.
Speaking to the BBC, the energy supply boss explained that National Grid is doing everything to ensure that infrastructure and networks are ready for the winter ahead.
