据威廉·马西斯报道，英国电网运营商警告称，周一晚间电力供应可能紧张，直到夜间风力发电增加后情况才会得到缓解。
By William Mathis The UK grid operator warned that electricity supplies may be tight Monday evening before a spike in wind power brings relief to the system overnight.
英国国家能源系统运营商（NESO）在一份市场通知中表示，从周一下午4点开始，电力供应可能会出现1.4吉瓦的缺口。
Britain’s National Energy System Operator flagged a possible margin shortfall of 1.4 gigawatts starting at 4pm Monday, according to a market message.
这类通知在夏季一系列热浪导致电网负荷加重后变得越来越常见，是运营商寻求额外发电能力的手段。通常在紧张时段开始前这些通知会被取消。
The notices, which have become increasingly common since a series of heat waves strained the network over the summer, are a tool for the grid operator to seek any additional generation capacity that may be available. The notices are usually canceled ahead of the start of the tight period.
NESO在社交媒体上表示：‘这是一种常规的预防性操作措施，不会对客户的电力供应造成风险，英国的电力系统依然安全。’
“This is a routine and precautionary operational tool,” NESO posted on social media. “There is no risk to customer electricity supplies and Great Britain’s electricity system remains secure.” In addition to seeking spare generation, the operator also requested additional capacity from neighboring countries, and asked UK energy suppliers if there were any ways they could reduce demand. British suppliers regularly call on customers to cut consumption in exchange for some kind of compensation, such as money off their bills.
