The National Grid has issued a warning to UK households who could face blackouts during the coldest months of the year as the cost of living crisis continues.
John Pettigrew, National Grids CEO, spoke at the Financial Times ' Energy Transition Summit yesterday (October 18) where he outlined a “worst case” scenario, that could see the National Grid forced to impose blackouts as winter hits its peak.
Earlier this month, the National Grid warned households of power cuts after Prime Minister Liz Truss ruled out energy rationing during the Tory leadership contest and Downing Street insisted in August that Brits didn't need to cut their usage.
