The Government is to review the actions of the National Grid Electricity System Operator after Friday's power cuts.

The Energy Emergencies Executive Committee will establish what happened to cause the outage - which affected Oakham and surrounding village - and if correct procedures were followed.

It will also consider whether improvements are needed to prevent future power cuts and better respond if they do occur, including minimising impacts on people and essential services.

The review will complement the investigation being undertaken by energy regulator Ofgem into how the electricity operator responded in line with its licence conditions and system security standards.

On Friday a National Grid ESO spokesman said issues with two generators caused loss of power 'in selected UK areas'.
