Brits could be plunged into darkness this winter with the coldest months yet to come amidst a cost-of-living crisis.
The National Grid had previously issued a warning to UK households that blackouts could become a reality as winter hits its peak and icy weather bites.
John Pettigrew, National Grids CEO, said this was a "worst-case scenario", but the government has nonetheless been creating emergency plans to cope with the energy blackouts.
