On the avoidance of system alerts so far this winter, and while I hope we are over peak demand, although I accept there is still a bit of winter left and potentially more cold snaps, it is good news that, despite all the concerns, we have managed to avoid risk alerts so far. What level of gratitude do we owe the public and customers who listened to the Reduce Your Use campaign and decided to use certain appliances at certain times and reduce the use of other appliances? What level of gratitude do we owe the public for putting in place their own measures and taking responsibility?
