Millions in Great Britain could face emergency power cuts at short notice
Millions of households in Great Britain are at risk of experiencing emergency power cuts, which can be implemented by the grid operator Neso at short notice. This new development allows Neso to impose rolling blackouts without needing government approval, as a last resort to manage the electricity system. The potential for power cuts is a concern for markets, as it could impact businesses and households that rely on a stable energy supply. This situation may also affect energy prices and trade, particularly if the power cuts become frequent or prolonged.
