The company, which is responsible for the UK’s gas and electricity supply, warned there might not be enough power for the country if the energy crisis continues.
In order to prevent planned power cuts, households will be paid to turn down their heating and not use their washing machines at peak times to save the country as much energy as possible.
Households could get around £10 per day for turning down their appliances, but exact details will be revealed on November 1.
The National Grid Electricity System Operator has issued its bleak “winter outlook” report that details the scenario that a shortage of gas could mean “planned interruptions of electricity supply to businesses and households”.
