A gas shortage is triggering a power shortage in the country. This may force the U.K. government to conduct a planned three-hour power outage (a standard blackout) this winter.

Imports of French gas and reduced consumption could help solve this problem. However, other countries are experiencing similar difficulties, which makes electricity an extremely expensive resource.
