LONDON (Reuters) – Britain\u2019s National Grid, which is responsible for ensuring supply and demand are balanced in Britain\u2019s energy systems, has issued a tight electricity margin notice for Wednesday afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

In a market message, National Grid said there is a reduced margin between the hours of 1600-1900 GMT on Wednesday, with a system shortfall of 584 megawatts.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn electricity margin notice is used to send a signal to the electricity market. It highlights that, in the short-term, we would like a greater safety cushion (margin) between power demand and available supply,\u201d National Grid said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does not signal that blackouts are imminent or that there is not enough generation to meet current demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

A further update will be issued tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
