British Gas' owner has warned it has just 'nine days' left of supply as the organisation reopened its mega site ahead of winter shortage fears. The energy company announced today that it is reopening its Rough gas fields in a move to increase the UK's gas capacity by 50%, reports the Mirror.
The site off the Yorkshire coast and beneath the North Sea is crucial in 'helping the UK this winter' insists Centrica, who own British Gas. However, the energy business insists it will not be a 'silver bullet for energy security' amidst widespread fears of energy shortages in the upcoming months.
Centrica stated that the UK currently has one of the lowest levels of gas storage in Europe, with just nine days left. Meanwhile, Germany has 89 days, France 103 and the Netherlands has enough storage for 123 days.
Centrica Group Chief Executive, Chris O’Shea, said: “I’m delighted that we have managed to return Rough to storage operations for this winter following a substantial investment in engineering modifications.
"Our long-term aim remains to turn the Rough field into the world’s biggest methane and hydrogen storage facility, bolstering the UK’s energy security, delivering a net zero electricity system by 2035, decarbonising the UK’s industrial clusters, such as the Humber region by 2040, and helping the UK economy by returning to being a net exporter of energy.
"In the short term we think Rough can help our energy system by storing natural gas when there is a surplus and producing this gas when the country needs it during cold snaps and peak demand.
"Rough is not a silver bullet for energy security, but it is a key part of a range of steps which can be taken to help the UK this winter.”
The announcement comes after the National Grid ESO

Clayton Davis After Nina Hoss received the role as Sharon in “Tár,” she happened to be in Budapest shooting Amazon Prime’s “Jack Ryan” — where her eventual co-star Cate Blanchett was also on location shooting Eli Roth’s “Borderland.” Hoss and Blanchett soon built a rapport and friendship that would become the foundation of their characters. After that, the German actress felt even more prepared to show her character’s strength: “You can easily make her the victim, but that’s too easy,” Hoss tells Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “Especially when you’re a phenomenal musician in your own right.” Listen below: On this episode of the award-winning Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, we sit down with actress Nina Hoss to discuss her work in the inventive drama “Tár,” working with her co-star Blanchett, her adorations in classic cinema (such as Bette Davis, who helped inspire her career in acting) and reading the incredible script for the first time. “I put it down and I think I only got half of it,” she shares. “It evoked something in you. It invites you and fascinates you.”
