World · UK grid operator says lights will stay on this winter despite staff concerns

Britain’s electricity grid operator has issued assurances that the lights will stay on this winter, even as an independent investigation reveals deep unease among control‑room engineers about their ability to keep the system stable. The National Energy System Operator (NESO) said supply is expected to remain secure, but acknowledged there could be ‘tight days’ when additional generation is called upon.
