Natural Gas: Storage
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help increase storage levels of gas.
Answered by Michael Shanks
National Gas has confirmed on 10 January that “the overall picture across Great Britain’s eight main gas storage sites remains healthy - with average levels at just over 60% across the board." We have diverse sources of gas supply, including from the North Sea, as well as the second largest LNG import capacity in Europe and three gas interconnectors. Only a small proportion of GB gas supply comes from our eight storage facilities, which primarily act as source of system flexibility, with capacity fluctuating throughout the year.
