How the energy crisis will affect your own metrology lab ?

I work in a long distance heated building that is part of critical infrastructure. In case of a power outage I will simply move one voltage reference to my workplace trying to avoid the disconnection of power of my reference or any thermal shock. I already recorded a 3 year drift history and the annual drift does not vary a lot until now.

In a blackout scenario we simply shutdown 2/3 of our total electrical loads. As most people will stay at home in winter the realized load on our system will be much lower than anticipated pre Covid one and the fuel supply will last longer.
What really matters is the question if the fuel supplier will be able to meet his contractual delivery obligations in a possible blackout scenario this winter.

Well as a time nut I have a 5061B in standby, a Kvarz Maser in standby, as well as two rack mount OCXOs two HP5065A, an Hp 53131A, two GPS Disciplined oscillators, and a DMTD system with laptop running continuously.
I am blessed with living in Lompoc CA. Our house is aligned with the prevailing on shore wind and cracking the garage door a bit and opening the rear patio door provides free AC for most of the year! Right now outside it's 55 Deg F and a high of 74 Deg F is forecast. Not like most of the rest of the country which is suffering a heat wave! So cooling power is not a driver but all the running stuff is!

Cheers,
