Northern Ireland's lights could go out in 2021 because of an energy crisis, South Antrim MP Danny Kinahan is warning.
And he says the lack of a Stormont Executive is exacerbating the problem.
And the NI Affairs Committee, on which he sits, says power bills will soar unless works starts now on a North-South interconnector.
Mr Kinahan says other factors will contribute to a 'perfect storm' for consumers:
O’Neill and Little-Pengelly urged to act on alcohol price limits as deaths rise
£14,000 pay increase recommended for Northern Ireland Assembly members
Police receive more than 100 referrals in Presbyterian Church safeguarding case
Bus driver dies at scene of crash involving school children
Jury sworn in at Natalie McNally murder trial
