Britain should have enough electricity supply over summer - National Grid

LONDON, April 16 (Reuters) - Britain should have enough electricity to meet demand over the summer months, the country's National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) said on Thursday, as reduced demand due to the coronavirus is likely to outstrip potential supply impacts.

Electricity demand could fall by as much as 20% compared with business as usual this summer due to restrictions placed on businesses and homes to help curb the spread of the virus, the National Grid ESO said. (Reporting by Susanna Twidale; Editing by Susan Fenton)
