National Grid has said that three-hour power outages could be used
spokesperson said: “in the event of any planned or unplanned national power outages, Kirklees Council has emergency and business continuity plans in place and will work closely with multi-agency partners from local public services, including the emergency services to support the running of critical services and functions. The council will publish in advance the dates and times of any planned power cuts where possible.
Planned outages haven’t been implemented in the UK since the 1970s with the introduction of the three-day week. At this time, coal was the main source of electricity. When miners went on strike along with rail workers, Britain’s electricity supply dwindled with non-essential services only permitted to operate for three consecutive days each week.
