The UK's biggest energy supplier is encouraging Brits to use less electricity during the solar eclipse tomorrow, because solar power generation will plummet.
Octopus Energy urged its eight million customers to delay using their washing machines, ovens, dishwashers and other plug-in devices between 6pm and 8pm.
Tomorrow's hotly-anticipated eclipse will see solar generation plunge at a crucial time of day when electricity demand rises as millions of people come home from work.
Octopus has now warned customers that the eclipse will 'briefly knock out a chunk of Britain's solar power' and possibly require more fossil fuel power generation.
