For those not aware, National Grid is the energy operator of the United Kingdom’s electricity grid. It was reported by the BBC earlier today that the risk of blackout in Britain has been at the highest it has been for nearly a decade.

The conclusion is reached because the difference between the amounts of power being generated and the peak demand estimation is at its lowest levels in years. The difference levels being talked about this winter is 4%. This is due in no small part to breakdown and closures of critical generators.

National Grid has claimed they are not complacent and are currently encouraging the major energy firms to bring in more supplies to boost reserves.

The director of market operations for national Grid Cordi O’Hara, stated “The electricity margin has decreased compared to recent years, but the outlook remains manageable and well within the reliability standard set by Government. As System Operator, we have taken the sensible precaution to secure additional tools to bolster our response to tighter margins.”

We mentioned all this hot button news because National Grid is one of our clients here at USB EXTRA. We are proud as punch to develop custom USB drives for National Grid. They had a distinctive concept of replicating ATOMS as their custom-made USB drive.

According to Wikipedia : “Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects and every atom is composed of a nucleus made of protons and neutrons.”

This is as far as we’ll go with the Physics lesson. With hindsight and the explanation given above, It required little thought to base the design of the Custom USB around the ATOM.

It was overwhelmingly well received across the marketers and mangers. So we’re rooting for National Grid and hope the amounts of power being generated increases.

We’ve bought into their success and wish them the best of business as the winter sets in. Here at USBEXTRA, we do more than custom USB flash drives. Visit the USB EXTRA website site for all the other branded USB drives that we do.
