scheme for the first time on Tuesday after the French nuclear energy industry was sent into turmoil recently. The UK relies on power from French nuclear energy stations over the winter however, approximately half of the reactors run by state company EDF are currently shut for maintenance reasons.
The decision not to activate the scheme was announced by the National Grid shortly after 3.00pm on Monday. Had National Grid proceeded with the deployment, it would have been the first time the energy saving plan would have been deployed in the UK.. It would have been the first time this specific action would have been deployed as a direct result of there not being enough energy supply required for peak times.
The scheme was run as a trial basis and tested by the Octopus Energy Group and it is predicted it will be open to hundreds of thousands of households in parts of England and Wales. Consultancy EnergyAppSys warned: “Even though wind is coming back for tomorrow evening’s peak, slow return of nukes in France plus lower temperatures may mean that there is a reduction in available imports across the interconnectors.
