Will We Be Able To Avoid ‘Brown-Outs’ this winter?

11th August 2014

The National Grid may need to reduce voltage to ration electricity supplies, causing power cuts at peak times. This is because of insufficient investment in new grid, demand rising dramatically and several aging nuclear power stations are off, due to faults, unrepaired until at least next year. Demand side reduction can help. It’s easy to save up to 10% just through behavioural change and our energy monitors deliver the real insight to help this.
