I have a large 18th century fire place and lots of wood furniture, should keep us warm for a few days

Power outages are rare in the UK, we don't have extreme weather, just meh weather, can't remember ever having it out for longer than a few hours, even when the occasional storm rolls through

However I'm quite mindful this could all change as the power generation infrastructure lags behind the demand for EV cars and all things electric

Our heating is oil powered, cooking is electric, water is mains pressure, never needed cooling

I'm think it would be prudent to invest in a stand alone emergency diesel (could use heating oil) generator that would keep the heating going, cooking, and a few lights on in the event of a power outage lasting days
