Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), are still working to adapt their infrastructures that can cope with switching from constant, high-carbon power resources to ‘intermittent’ renewables.

The UK’s electricity system operator is seeking emergency powers to disconnect embedded generation, including residential solar, fearing tumbling demand this bank holiday weekend could spark national blackouts.
