Six million UK households now face BLACKOUTS this winter as energy crisis deepens
Daily Express says In light of energy shortages, ministers have reportedly drawn up plans that could result in six million households facing “rationing” of electricity. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has aggravated a global fossil fuel energy crisis and has put European energy security at risk, by threatening to shut off its flow of oil and natural gas in response to Western sanctions.
As the UK vowed to end the imports of Russian oil by the end of the year, the Government is ready to bolster its electricity supply by extending the life of coal and ageing nuclear power stations.
According to a report from the Times, Government modelling of a “reasonable” worst-case scenario predicts significant gas shortages in winter if Vladimir Putin decides to cut off more supplies to the EU.
