Step by step: You got this!

What to do?? Step 1: Don’t panic.

With the April 2025 energy price cap increasing by £111, bringing household bills to £1,849 annually, we’re facing added financial pressure. In light of this, preparing an emergency kit that includes portable power solutions is a wise move.

Here’s what you’re going to need:

Top Portable Power Products to Consider:

1. Jackery Explorer 100 Plus Portable Power Station: Ideal for small devices like phones and tablets, ensuring essential electronics stay operational during outages.

2. Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus: A larger generator capable of running heavy-duty appliances like refrigerators, ideal for extended power outages.

How I think you should also prepare:

1. Assemble an Emergency Energy Kit: Include portable power stations, chargers, and power banks to keep essential devices running during an outage.

2. Stay Informed: Regularly check updates from reliable sources to anticipate potential energy disruptions and adjust energy usage accordingly.

3. Implement Energy-Saving Practices: Use energy-efficient appliances, seal drafts, and reduce unnecessary consumption to lower bills and enhance resilience.

Listen, put all this together and you’re sure to be and STAY connected during disruptions. By preparing today, you’ll be ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. You ready or what?
