Mind the Gap – Is the UK’s gas storage shortfall a concern?

There is some concern that the UK’s limited gas storage capacity and growing reliance on imports leave it vulnerable to supply disruptions and price spikes.

In the meantime, reducing dependence on gas in power generation and accelerating the renewables rollout will be crucial in stabilising prices and ensuring energy security.
