Energy shock: Britain is almost out of gas<\/h2>\n

\u0423 United Kingdom<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Natural gas reserves could be exhausted as early as two days<\/strong> amid disruptions in the global energy market. This is reported by the Daily Mail<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sharp reduction in inventory<\/h3>\n

According to the publication, the country's underground storage facilities currently contain only 6700 GWh of gas<\/strong>, which is enough for about one and a half days of consumption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For comparison, last year in the same period<\/strong> reserves were about 18,000 GWh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Reasons for the shortage<\/h3>\n

Among the key factors that caused the crisis:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    disruptions in energy supplies due to the war in Middle East<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    problems with the logistics of LNG tankers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    redirecting gas supplies to Asian markets due to higher prices<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Reduced supply from certain regions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Another important factor is the situation around Strait of Hormuz<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, which is a key route for energy transportation.<\/p>\n

    Britain is more vulnerable than Europe<\/h3>\n

    Experts point out that other European countries have much larger gas reserves, which can be enough for a few weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Instead United Kingdom<\/strong> has limited underground storage and is heavily dependent on gas imports from Norway<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and USA<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Prices are already rising<\/h3>\n

    Amid the risk of shortages, traders are actively raising prices.<\/p>\n

    According to analysts, London already pays the highest wholesale gas prices in Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
