The doomsday scenario is that despite voluntary curbs on energy demand for 10 days in January some of Britain’s gas power station have to shut down because of shortages. ![]() While “our expectation is that our mitigation measures will be effective”, National Grid says, there may be the “need to interrupt supply to some customers for limited periods of time in a managed and controlled manner”. One thing seems certain, it will be a “dynamic” scheme meaning the value of the incentive will be based on just how desperate the grid is to preserve energy. Precisely how much consumers can expect for plunging their homes into the Victorian era is currently being hammered out. In other words, households and businesses will be paid to participate in self-imposed blackouts. It will allow customers, whether domestic or corporate, to “be incentivised for voluntarily flexing the time when they use their electricity”.

Coal will produce an estimated 2GW of electricity.
