Well at least theirs is caused by a terrorist state waging war on an innocent country. Not incompetent fools trying to run power utility.

EDF to review case for keeping open UK nuclear plants set to close in 2024

France’s EDF will review whether there is a case to keep open the Hartlepool and Heysham 1 nuclear power plants in Britain beyond their current expected closure date in 2024, the company said on Wednesday.

At least we can go solar.... poor Uk.

Maybe they should invest in energy via rain, and yes its a thing.

Estonia also planning for blackout when Russia cuts them off. Their advise to their citizens is to get candles and battery banks to charge their phones.

I tried looking to see if Estonia has any inverter and batteries similar to the Mecer or Axperts etc. But can't find anything there.

My brother lives there and generates more solar energy than I do, granted his entire roof is covered in panels

Do you mean in UK? It's actually 27 years but just to note Finland opened one this year and it went to 100% capacity last week.

I was talking to some Finnish colleagues last week and they tell me that since the second world war Finland has had massive underground stores that have been kept supplied with water, food, fuel etc. It was kind of on the quiet but came to light during Covid and now is an open secret. Amazing to think that they kept the funding up all these years which is in no small part to their hot and cold relationship with Russia.

Yep, mine doubled overnight. Tons of complaints, and then e.On were like “oops, technical error we’re working to rectify”. Bet they were hoping no-one would notice.
