Europe is grappling with an exceptionally harsh winter in 2026. Record-breaking temperatures below -20°C, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions are paralyzing roads and the power grid. Poland, Germany, and Ukraine haven’t seen such conditions in a long time – forecasters are warning of blackouts. Furthermore, the war in Ukraine is destabilizing gas and electricity supplies, indirectly affecting Poland through disruptions in energy trade. Power outages are becoming commonplace – how can a power generator and an electric fireplace with a heating function save the day?
Severe Weather in Europe: Frost and Snow Like Never Before
January 2026 brought Arctic frosts to Europe, the likes of which haven’t been seen in decades. In Poland, temperatures dropped to -20°C, and snowfall exceeded 50 cm in Małopolska and Podkarpacie. Ice is blocking high-voltage lines, causing outages. In Germany and France, blackouts last for hours, and in Scandinavia, record-breaking cold temperatures are breaking. The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW) confirms: this is a result of climate change and the jet stream. Without electricity, heating, refrigerators, and lighting won’t work – we risk hypothermia.
Power Generator and Unit: A Reliable Solution for Blackouts
The best solution to power outages is a power generator, a reliable unit. Inverter models (e.g., 2.5/5/10 kW) will power your home, heat pump, or refrigerator. Quiet, economical, and with electronic start – perfect for winter.
Electric Fireplace with Heating Function: Warmth without gas and electricity?
For cold weather and blackouts, we recommend an electric fireplace with a heating function. It plugs into an outlet (or a generator), provides a real 3D fire and heat up to 2 kW. Aflamo electric fireplaces offer water models with heat distribution throughout the house. Emotionflame electric fireplaces tempt with their LED flame effect and thermal ventilation – smoke-free, 30-minute installation. Safe, eco-friendly, and stylish!
In the face of winter and war, don’t wait for a blackout. Investing in a power generator and electric fireplace will provide peace of mind.
