As BeardyMan said, a generator. Have a look on your local gumtree site, people tend to offload them cheap at this type of year. I picked up a small 850w two-stroke around this time last year for £10. It had stood for a few months so was sold as spares/repairs. Started 3rd or 4th pull of the cord & still works champion even now. Store the petrol with the petrol treatment & it'll be good to go for at least a year. 1 litre of fuel lasts the genny a good couple of hours constant running. I ran my tv, DVD player & a lamp off it in the summer during a power cut & it was as though we had power as normal. Well except no kettle for a cuppa
Got that covered now with my new 2.2kw genny
