People across the UK could see their energy turned off for hours at a time this winter as the country faces a shortage, experts say. Both gas and electricity supplies could run low, leading to a process called load-shedding.
Mark Nelson, managing director of consultancy Radiant Energy Group, told The Telegraph: "Many developing countries have load-shedding, billions of people know what this means, it's just rich countries have not had to deal with it."
The UK has much less gas stored than other countries - such as France and Germany, and the cost of importing gas from abroad remains high thanks to the war in Ukraine. The Telegraph says the UK’s gas network has been preparing for rationing 'for more than a month', with similar talks in the electricity network.
