The UK has just 9 days of gas supply left, the owner of British Gas warned today - as it reopened a giant storage site ahead of winter.
Centrica said the UK has some of the lowest levels of gas storage in Europe, compared to Germany which has 89 days' worth, France at 103 and the Netherlands at 123.
The energy company announced on Friday that it is reopening its Rough gas field - a storage facility beneath the North Sea off the Yorkshire coast - in a move that will increase the UK's gas capacity by 50%.
