Martin Lewis issues energy usage advice all homeowners can follow to help avoid 'winter blackouts'
Martin Lewis has issued an important message regarding energy usage amid warnings that Britain could be facing three-hour blackouts this winter. Appearing on today's episode of ITV's This Morning, the financial guru answered questions from callers seeking help amid the current cost of living and energy crisis.
He said one particular way people could help to avoid blackouts this winter is by using non-essential appliances between certain hours. "We hope there will not be any blackouts, but there are emergency scenarios where short power cuts in different regions are possible, that have been put forward by National Grid," he said.
"The peak time for energy usage is 4pm to 7pm. Four to 9pm is the main time, but 4pm to 7pm is the real peak time. So as a bit of working together to help each other, if there's stuff that's no hassle to you not to have on between 4pm and 7pm. His advice comes after warnings that the UK could face three-hour blackouts this winter amid gas shortages. In October, the National Grid laid out three scenarios that could happen should gas run low and how to conserve power.
