Britain’s extreme heat has created an unusual challenge for the electricity system as households increase their use of fans and air-conditioning units. The National Energy System Operator has responded by asking generators to make additional capacity available during a critical evening period.

The notice does not predict blackouts or ask households to stop using essential cooling. It indicates that the safety margin between expected electricity supply and demand has become tighter than NESO would normally prefer during summer.
