UK Power Network resilience?

kfh

Sitting in the candle light as a result of a power outage caused by the current storm. SP Energy networks outage map shows most of North Wales having problems as well as a large area around Glasgow. My area problem is showing as a probable fix by 03:00 tomorrow and my Brother in Law 20 miles away in North Wales is showing 18:00 tomorrow. 

While I have a gas hob and a multi fuel stove he has oil CH, no fire  and is about 1000 ft ASL which is a bit colder and windier. 

When we have made the move to all electric will the resilience  of the network be improved especially as we are told we can expect more stormy weather with global warming?

Just wondering, as being an old codger I will probably not be around to see, freeze? Slight smile

  • AFAIK, red diesel is still allowed for domestic generators and domestic heating, (hospitals, places of worship, sporting clubs, and funfairs may also use red diesel for heating or electricity generation.) Most other places must use white diesel.

    Despite this, I would suggest that the more costly white diesel be used for a generator, the same fuel may then be used in a diesel road vehicle so as to rotate stocks.
