An increase in electricity demand?

"Electric heaters and cookers were being offered to elderly or sick customers, and those with young children."


Certainly if we lost our gas supply, whilst we aleady cook electric, our heating is gas fired CH. To maintain comfort levels I could see three or four 2 kW fan heaters being utilised for much of the day. As for domestic water heating, a kettle or two. 


I seem to remember a previous gas problem where the local gas supplier took round electric heaters to affected houses and blew a few main fuses....???


The photograph of the SGN vehicle with a sat dish and two air conditioners has me wondering. If the a/c units are to get rid of excessive heat build up, then besides the load of the TWO a/c compressors, I wonder what they have in the van - besides a rather large gene??

  • BBC news reports state that a number of power cuts occurred overnight in the affected area.

    Reason not given, but overloading of LV cables and transformers seems a reasonable supposition.

    Residents are asked to "be mindful of their electricity consumption"


    As has already been said, the real answer has to involve blankets and warm clothes !
