Well, if I channel my inner conspiracy theorist, (fancy that - a pejorative term for myself) rationing areas by limiting supplies of power on a rota basis should the grid be overwhelmed.
This from eon…
The nationwide electricity network is split into areas or ‘blocks’, each of which is identified by a single letter from A to V. To spread the load, a rota system has been created by the National Grid and the government which would mean areas are disconnected for up to 3 hours at a time. These are also known as Rota Load Disconnections (RLD).
I’m assuming eon next is a spoof alarmist website.

What are Rota Load Disconnections (RLD)?
You may have seen news reports that Britain could be facing planned emergency power cuts this winter (also called ‘blackouts’) to help manage the national electricity supply. These will only occur when the government and National Grid agree that there is no other alternative and will be phased across the country so different locations are without power at different times.The nationwide electricity network is split into areas or ‘blocks’, each of which is identified by a single letter from A to V.
