National Grid Preparing for the Risk of Blackouts this Winter

[Geordie_Rob]

Come to think of it, nedl (the North Easter power grid people) who oversee the area I live in have been putting radio adverts out asking people with priority need to pre-register with them incase of power cuts. People like those with medical conditions reliant on electric powered gizmos or those with very young/old family members etc.. I'd never thought much of them tbh but the penny has just dropped. It's basically advance warning of cuts. Good job I've got my calor gas heaters, gas & meths cooking stoves & a big 2.5kw petrol generator with 15ltr tank. We'll be sorted for short term cuts. If it really got bad then we'd load the car up with above items & head over to my parents where they have the wood stove.
