    UK energy supply companies navigate volatile market

    Changes to accountancy rules have taken the wind out of some groups’ sails

    Embargoed to 0001 Monday March 13
									
									File photo dated 26/03/08 of electricity pylons as around £180 million was wasted on standby power stations after overblown warnings of blackouts, according to energy experts. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Monday March 13, 2017. Claims that the lights would go out increased in the face of a string of cold winters, low power imports and plant maintenance work.
									But a reserve power scheme put in place to deal with emergencies was not used once, the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) found. It claimed an individual was around 10 times more likely to be struck by lightning than the National Grid supply failing. See PA story ENVIRONMENT Power.
