The Mirror (November 22): National Grid sparks panic after warning of blackouts in alert before cancelling.
National Grid sparked panic this evening after an automated alert said the firm's capacity was "tight" and warned of blackouts - before cancelling it.
The firm put out a warning that homes could experience power issues tonight causing panic at 7pm this evening.
The alert was later cancelled.. [sic] It had originally said there was would be a tight margin when consumption would naturally increase as people come home from work and school.
On Twitter National Grid ESO wrote: "The ESO has now withdrawn the Capacity Market Notice issued at 2:33pm today."
Earlier it wrote: "The ESO is confident that electricity margins are sufficient for this evening. However, a capacity market notice (CMN) has been triggered by the automated system.

The National Grid issues warnings when supplies are likely to be under pressure. This comes when insufficient power is being generated to supply the demand across the country.
The National Grid website says: "The notices are intended to be a signal that the risk of a System Stress Event in the GB electricity network is higher than under normal circumstances."
One worried person on Twitter wrote: "National grid has apparently announced that its struggling to cope with the amount of energy being used in the UK and we could have a blackout from 7pm tonight. Let’s hope it’s a bunch of b****t and doesn’t happen."
Another added: "So, the National Grid warns about possible blackouts tonight and then cancels the alert...we haven't even had a frost yet."
It comes as National Grid had previously issued a warning to UK households that blackouts could become a reality as winter hits its peak and icy weather bites.
A Panic Test Run? World Governments and Agencies have learned to push that panic button and watch too many freak out and it doesn't take much. "A respiratory virus that has a 99.8% change of survival? Shut down the world, wear a mask, stay six-feet apart from other and WARSHHHHA YOUR HANDS!"
We move electricity round Great Britain’s system to keep homes and businesses supplied with the energy they need 24/7, 365 days a year.
Everything wrong that's happening everywhere is all by design. No one person and no group of people could possibly be so grossly incompetent.
A Constant State of Panic. Not playing along.
