LONDON AND SOUTH EAST ENGLAND UNDER THREAT OF BLACKOUTS

National Grid executives have warned of blackouts before the end of the decade unless the South East pays more for power than other regions.

In private conversations with the energy industry, executives from the Grid’s Electricity System Operator (ESO) claimed the network was becoming so congested that “there will be blackouts in the South East by 2028”, one industry source claimed. 

The issue has prompted the Government to weigh major changes to the electricity market, potentially by splitting it into regional zones that would each have their own electricity price.
