Emergency blackout plan could see Scots paid to turn off electricity from tomorrow
Scots could be paid to turn off their power as part of an emergency blackout plan set to be brought out tomorrow.
A decision will be made by 2.30pm today whether to issue the notice to households and suppliers across the country, the Mirror reports. Downing Street previously said the potential for power blackouts was not discussed but insisted ministers are "preparing for all eventualities". The National Grid had previously issued a warning to UK households that blackouts could become a reality as winter hits its peak and icy weather bites.
