    Thanks for that

    ...leading to organized blackouts for industry and even households.

    I'm interested in how this works. I see Germany have limited energy usage in public buildings, so they can't out heating/ lights on at certain times.

    UK domestic blackout I don't understand. I'm an ex domestic Gas Engineer. If you shut off the gas to a household it would them require a gas engineer to visit to purge the supply before it could be safely used again so this isn't feasible at scale. So I'm wondering if this is bad reporting/ mis informed government briefing or else.

    I imagine it's electricity that will go down as we rely heavily on gas-generation for that.
