According to this article, the price of wholesale gas has jumped after Centrica (who own British Gas) said it was closing a storage facility this winter. The facility holds about 70% of the UK’s gas supply.
And guess where the alternative storage is? The UK will be:
…reliant on storage on the European mainland
Anyone out there who voted for Brexit will probably need that explaining to them. You see, the “European mainland” is the very thing they voted to leave.
Oh, and don’t expect to read about this in The Sun or Daily Mail just yet. It will only become noteworthy to them later in the year when gas prices go up, at which time Europe will be directly blamed for the problem.
