British electricity and gas utility company National Grid PLC warned on Monday about potential blackouts the public might face between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm on "really, really cold" days in January and February if the country fails to receive a sufficient amount of gas from Europe.
The comment came from the firm's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Pettigrew at the Financial Times's Energy Transition Summit. "In the context of the terrible things that are going on in Ukraine and the consequences of that, [it was] right that we set out what some of the potential risks could be," he noted.
Earlier, National Grid said it may impose periodical three-hour power cuts in some areas of the country during the winter amid the ongoing energy crisis.
