Interesting article on Interconnectors...

TELEGRAPH.CO.UK "https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/a552809abbf2e670"
Britain’s foreign power addiction on the ballot as Norway goes to the polls
A new government in Oslo could have dramatic consequences for the UK’s energy supply

If Interconnectors stopped for any reason (political...energy demand in other countries.. or even Russia cutting them?)... we don't seem to have any backup or alternative to outages?

The problem is not particularly about 'interconnectors' which are merely a symptom, (or propaganda about 'Russians'), the problem is a privatised grid run for years as a source of profit with minimal investment. It's the same story with all our infrastructure in Britain. 

Of course, all you folks who can afford batteries &/or solar are mostly covered. However, most people aren't and as the grid system struggles (which would be happening whether we have renewable generators or not) they are going to pay through the nose for these political failures. This in turn will feed into the naysayers, rinse & repeat. 

The only likelihood of being able to mitigate any of this is community energy installations and P2P trading. But Britain is far behind on both of these scores. Sadly.
