'very low level'
SUMMARY

Britain's gas storage levels are alarmingly low, with less than a week's worth of demand available. This situation follows a cold snap and increased demand for gas-fired power, according to Centrica.

The UK's reliance on gas for heating and electricity is evident, with natural gas providing 53% of power as renewables contribute only 16%. Centrica claims that if its Rough storage facility were fully operational, it could have saved households £100 on energy bills. The UK's lack of mandatory gas storage targets means it faces unique vulnerabilities, especially after Russia's invasion of Ukraine disrupted supply chains.
