The United Kingdom could face planned power cuts to homes and businesses this winter if it is unable to import electricity from Europe and it struggles to attract enough gas imports to fuel its gas-fired power plants, the British National Grid has warned.
The prospect of power cuts comes as Prime Minister Liz Truss on Thursday wrote an op-ed in the Times newspaper calling on Europe to keep energy exports flowing during the winter, and is likely to heap further pressure on the government after she previously ruled out energy rationing in the UK.
