National Grid, the UK’s power operator issued a warning to Britain in the early hours of Thursday, 1 March saying gas supplies had run low overnight.
Fears are mounting that gas supplies could run out while Britain experiences sub zero weather conditions this winter after National Grid warned supplies were running low: “National gas demand today is high and due to the extreme weather conditions, there have been gas supply losses overnight,” the power operator said. “At 5.45 am this morning [GMT] we issued a ‘Gas Deficit Warning’ to the market.”
Red weather alerts, the highest possible alert meaning people’s lives could be put at risk by the weather have been issued for South West England and Wales. The whole country is under a severe weather warning with heavy snow and gale force winds already halting Britain’s rail and road infrastructure.
