Rota Load Disconnection
Alpha Identifiers
On October 6th 2022 the National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) published their 2022 – 23 Winter Outlook report. The report was published at a time of unprecedented flux both domestically and abroad, largely stemming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, and outlined a number of scenarios that could occur this winter. One of the scenarios was the very small possibility of supply shortages, caused when the demand for electricity is higher than the amount being generated. The most extreme scenario would be a period of supply disconnection. This would be an extremely rare event, however, it is important to be aware of how to prepare for this eventuality.
We have created this update to present useful information and a link to the government’s Electricity Supply Emergency Code (ESEC). The government’s ESEC includes a ‘Rota Load Disconnection’ measure, which is a pre-prepared plan involving power being disconnected from specific areas in turn for part of each day. The Electricity Supply Emergency Code can be found here:
