Great Britain has only two days of gas stored as Iran war disrupts supplies
AI Summary
Great Britain's natural gas storage has declined to under two days' worth, raising concerns about potential shortages amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Tankers carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) are being diverted from Europe to Asia due to the Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for gas shipments. While gas prices have soared, National Gas and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero maintain that Britain has diverse supply sources beyond storage, including domestic production, imports from Norway, and interconnectors with Europe. They assure that the UK's gas supply remains secure and that gas will continue to play a key role in the energy system.
