Winter is coming | How could blackouts affect your firm and employees?

Blackouts have been a critical subject matter these days all across the UK. However, while most of the conversation has leaned towards the impact on our personal lives, there is also an important conversation to be had surrounding how businesses and working environments might be affected...

UK blackouts are on everybody’s minds and have in fact impacted many people’s agendas. Cabinet Minister, Nadhim Zahawi has stated on many occasions that blackouts in the UK are ‘extremely unlikely’ and we won’t see them this winter.

Mark H, the Head of Grid Innova, expressed with regards to the comments set forth by Zahawi: “I never thought this is where the UK would end up in my time in the industry with regular warnings of depleted margins between supply and demand of energy or possibly a 3-hour blackout which was said to be ‘unlikely’.”

Mark, continued: “However, unlikely, isn’t impossible.”
