Energy supplies

[Joe]

RT is working at the moment but it’s been a bit intermittent. I doubt the Government is trying to block it but I suspect it’s under a DOS attack.

It’s looking like gas supplies will have serious issues this year and as a knock on this could affect electricity supplies.
As you are aware electricity supplies are easy to manage if the grid starts to creak , you just pull the plug to certain areas but gas is a different matter, you can’t switch it off. In order to manage it you need to use a price model to restrict supply so expect larger increases than first thought.
At this point going forward have a basic back up lighting option available, even if it’s two camping lanterns. If possible a back up heating system would be very useful but this is not easy for most people ( we can do a thread on back up heating)
