Reply to comment by Drackar39 in Struggling to afford heating bills, Britons turn to 'warm banks' to keep out the cold by rein_deer7

I know how it works but the fact you are generating power in summer when there is not that much demand and plenty of power doesn’t help in winter does it? It helps your bills, sure but if there is not enough power there will be blackouts and your solar is not going to help.

The primary issue isn't lack of sufficient power plants, it's cost of fuel to run those power plants (alongside rank profiteering by literal criminal scumbags, but that's another topic).

Any fuel that isn't used "in the summer" is still available "In the winter".
