NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The UK's energy grid is designed to meet high demand during periods of extreme weather, such as heatwaves, through a combination of power generation and management of supply and demand. The National Grid, which oversees the system, has measures in place to prevent blackouts, including importing electricity from other countries and using backup power sources. A failure to meet these standards could have significant implications for the country's energy security and reliability.
