Britain’s Grid Strains Under Heat

Britain’s power grid is under serious strain as record-breaking heat pushes demand to new highs, forcing Neso to issue a second emergency alert this week—this time asking for an extra 700 megawatts to avoid shortages. With temperatures soaring past 36°C, power plants struggle with cooling, while households crank up AC units, creating a double whammy. Though lights aren’t going out, the cost is steep: Neso spent £11 million just Tuesday to secure enough gas—five times the usual daily amount—highlighting how extreme heat is taxing our energy infrastructure.
