As the energy prices continue to rise this year, UK households have been warned to prepare for planned blackouts during the winter.
The National Grid ESO has warned that if a gas supply shortage does occur, they may be forced to impose three-hour power outages early next year. The Daily Record reports that this outage could see people without electricity for hours on end.
With the power possibly being shut off, there is a chance that a surge of electricity when it comes back on could damage some appliances. Some everyday essentials should remain unplugged during these outages, to protect them.
