Although nothing official in the UK, there must be some niggling concerns about energy supply this winter. Germany putting in place lots of restrictions already (obv more reliant on russian gas but still interesting to see action being taken now) and Gordon Brown hinting at potential shortages this morning.
I don't think there is any chance of the gas going off for consumers, I imagine that a big safety risk when its turned back on? But they could well turn off gas to industry and eventually power stations so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see electricity issues, unfortunately the only gas appliance I have is the gas central heating.
Is anybody doing anything DIY to cover any power cuts in the short term? I'm wondering if its worth putting something in place to keep the gas boiler running for example, so not a massive load?
