Expected Harsh Winter
Centrica's gas storage business said yesterday that it would increase supplies this winter as the UK faces a squeeze caused by rising demand and diminishing North Sea production.
It said it would make more gas available from its Rough facility, the UK's biggest gas storage unit, sufficient to supply an extra 65,000 homes or keep a gas fired power station running throughout the winter.
Concerns that Britain could face possible shortages have intensified amid forecasts that the coming winter will be more severe than usual, increasing the demand for energy.
