Warnings of power outages in the UK
There are increasing fears surrounding potential power cuts in the UK this winter. These fears come after the energy regulator warned there is a significant risk of blackouts due to gas shortages in the UK. This shortage is due to the conflict in Ukraine and limited supplies in Europe. Russia only supplies 4% of the UK’s gas supplies, but a disruption in supply to Europe has driven up British prices and makes it more difficult for the UK to secure gas from others. In light of these warnings, having a backup generator is vital for businesses to protect against outages. Generators allow businesses to continue operating smoothly, preventing financial losses. A backup generator can also be necessary for households to prevent disruption when power cuts occur.
