🗣 #NationalGrid boss John Pettigrew said blackouts would have to be imposed in the “deepest darkest evenings” in January and February if electricity generators did not have enough gas to meet demand, particularly if there is a bout of cold weather.
Pettigrew was speaking at the Financial Times #EnergyTransitionSummit, although he remained confident that scheduled blackouts will not be needed.
Pettigrew has told households to prepare for blackouts between 4pm and 7pm on weekdays during “really, really cold” days.
