The National Energy System Operator has assured the public that electricity supplies will remain available this winter, despite concerns raised by its engineers about whether there would be enough supply to meet demand.
The operator said the lights would stay on during the winter period. Its statement comes after internal concerns about its ability to ensure adequate electricity supply, making the assurance significant for households and businesses relying on the grid.
No further details about the nature of the concerns, the level of available capacity or the measures underpinning the assurance were provided in the supplied material. The latest position is that the operator expects supplies to remain sufficient throughout the winter.
