National Grid confirm power blackout decision with major World Cup effect on England vs Wales

The National Grid will not be implementing a scheme to pay households for not using energy tomorrow night - Tuesday, November 29.

Initial plans by the UK energy company were created due to ongoing worries over shortening supplies, but the emergency winter electricity plan has not been activated due to an expected shortage of backup power from France.

The timing of the decision comes on the eve of England's giant World Cup clash against Wales which kicks off at 7pm on Tuesday night.
