A somewhat ironic incident : an #EV was crashed into an #electricity pole in #Cambridgeshire - causing a big #fire and putting several homes off supply. The driver was lucky and escaped with only minor #injuries

#solar and #battery installation at a relatives house did well for #resilience - a cable break cut off the #UKPN grid feed for around an hour - whole house remained with #power from the #renewable #energy sources, the battery reserve was barely touched due to good sunlight (the people in the house didn't even need to switch off high consumption equipment, although I had suggested this should the power cut have lasted any longer (the grid supply returned around an hour later) #electricity

I was impressed to get this text from UK Power Networks, apologising for a recent power cut and even explaining in simple terms why it happened, what they did to fix it, and how they are trying to prevent it happening again!
