Britain's grid risk of power loss this winter decreases due to increased interconnector capacity, gas generation, and battery storage.
Britain faces a lower risk of losing power this winter compared to last year, with the grid's operator expecting power plants and renewable energy sources to meet demand, according to the National Grid's Electricity System Operator. This improvement is attributed to increased interconnector capacity, new gas generation, and growth in battery storage. The system's margin has increased from 7.4% to 9.4%, reducing the potential period of demand outstripping supply to just 0.1 hours.
