Ofgem warns UK faces 'significant risk' of gas shortage this winter

Energy regulators Ofgem have warned that the UK may face gas shortages this winter.

The regulating body said that there is a "significant risk" that the UK will face a "gas supply emergency", which could impact electricity supplies. Ofgem made the claim in a letter revealed by The Times.

Ofgem said: "Due to the war in Ukraine and gas shortages in Europe, there is a significant risk that gas shortages could occur during the winter 2022-23 in Great Britain. As a result, there is a possibility that Great Britain could enter into a gas supply emergency."
