Explosion : gas low for cold week in UK
A Birmingham MP today warned of forced power cuts due to a recent explosion at a gas storage facility will leave supplies tight in the UK running into next week. With the recent cold snap forcast to run into next week we could be seeing the lights go out if we as a nation don’t turn off the heating when we don’t need it on.
“In the short term, however, the UK is on a knife edge in terms of gas supplies. An explosion at the country’s main storage field has left the UK with accessible supplies of just two days. If there is prolonged bad weather in the next month, the shortage of gas could lead to power cuts.” Source
