Given the closure of electricity generating capacity with nothing major coming on stream for years, I read that this year's capacity is very close to demand. And the risk of blackout is increasing - and looks likely to increase over the next 5-10 years.

Given the above, I am considering buying a small generator as backup power to run some lights and possibly the freezer/fridge. No more than 1KW. (a full coverage means 5KW +, and BIG expense.)
Any ideas, suggestions, etc?
