GB News: Britain was 'within whisker of blackouts' due to immense reliance on renewable power
Britain faced a near blackout situation this week as freezing temperatures led the National Energy System Operator (NESO) to request an additional 1,700 megawatts of electricity. This request aimed to maintain safety margins across England, Scotland, and Wales amid plunging temperatures.
Despite NESO's reassurances that there was no immediate threat to power supplies, energy expert Kathryn Porter warned that the system was under significant strain, noting it was the tightest situation in over 15 years. She highlighted concerns about the reliance on renewable energy during peak winter demand when solar and wind contributions are low.
