Leaked documents show the Government's emergency plans in the event of a week-long blackout
The UK Government has been stress testing emergency plans to deal with blackouts lasting up to a week, it has been reported.
Documents marked as "official sensitive" obtained by The Guardian reveal the Government's priorities if this event were to ever occur. Yarrow is separate from the National Grid scheme which could see three-hour blackouts occur as a last resort to protect energy supplies. In the event of a week-long blackout, the Government will prioritise getting food, water and shelter to young and elderly people, as well as their carers.
In this instance, Ofgem and the National Grid would be expected to restore 100 percent of electricity demand after a week - even in this worst-case scenario.
