MOSCOW, 29 Aug. UK authorities are hushing up the prospect of a blackout this coming winter, writes Bloomberg, citing London Energy Consulting CEO David Cox. We do not have enough gas to burn to produce electricity, and this is a serious problem that the government is currently hushing up, «the expert quotes the publication. Moreover, the EU will not be able to help because of its own problems in this area. Cox does not sees other ways out than government bailouts either to power companies to limit the tariff price for electricity, or targeted assistance to those in need.
