‘No threat’ to energy system, as people stay away from offices, pubs and restaurants during pandemic
The operator of the UK’s electricity system has said the risk of blackouts this winter have been reduced because energy demand is likely to be well below normal levels as people stay away from offices, pubs and restaurants during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The UK was on course to face its tightest electricity supply margins in five years after a series of coal power plant closures, according to a report from National Grid.
