A government minister has criticised “dangerous scaremongering” following claims that Britain has just two days of gas stored despite threats of disruption from the US-Iran conflict.
The reports emerged after analysis of data from National Gas – which owns and operates the nation’s gas transmission system – showed that it had 6,999 gigawatt hours (GWh) of fossil gas stored on Saturday. This is down from 9,105 GWh a year earlier.
