UK government in talks with datacenter operators over blackouts
The UK government is reported to have held discussions with datacenter operators about keeping their infrastructure operating during possible power shortages this winter, amid growing concerns there could be blackouts if gas supplies run low.
[PDF] from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy . The Russian war in Ukraine has posed a threat to gas supplies across Europe, and while the UK does not get much gas from Russia, the country often imports electricity from the region when required. However, in a worst-case scenario it may be necessary to initiate planned, load shedding schemes under which means some customers could be without power for pre-defined periods during a day,"generally assumed to be for 3 hour blocks".
"There's a potential issue with energy supplies or gas supply to power stations, which will then have a knock on impact on not just the datacenter providers, but will also take out power in mobile networks as well," Haynes said.
