The report, produced by energy consultancy firm Cornwall Insight for the National Energy System Operator (Neso) and shared with The Times by a whistleblower, revealed that Neso cannot accurately map the modern power system amid the government’s green energy push. The whistleblower warned that Neso, which is owned by the government, was “flying blind, every minute of every day” in its ability to understand energy supply and demand. “We are risking a total blackout,” they said. \n\nThe report found that inaccurate energy forecasts are inflating costs for consumers and leaving Neso less likely to be able to prevent blackouts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe source added that national grid engineers “have been raising these issues for two years” already but said executives “are too scared politically to say renewables are making the system unsafe.” In it’s report, the energy consultancy said the rise of renewable power sources such as wind farms, solar panels, and batteries, has given grid operators “reduced visibility of the capacity which is supplying and taking power from the GB network”, complicating its ability to forecast supply and demand. ‘Extreme temperatures’ hitting power supplies The report was completed just weeks before the UK’s June heatwave, and Neso has since warned that the “extreme temperatures” may hit power supplies as households’ fan and air conditioner use places a record strain on the grid.\n\nAn overnight notice, issued by Neso on 9 July, called on energy companies to generate additional power supply to satisfy demand during the heatwave. This was the energy operator’s second warning in a month, with the group group forced to call for more power during June’s heatwave, which saw temperatures hit a record high of 37.7CThis follows two of the UK’s leading energy industry bodies earlier this month calling on new prime minister Andy Burnham to slash green levies on energy bills for businesses or risk jeopardising economic growth.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.49.0","shortVersion":"4.49.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2654596930","isCrawlerRequest":true}
