Gas Winter Review & Consultation 2024
Welcome to this years Gas Winter Review & Consultation.
The mild winter last year meant day-to-day demand across Britain was relatively low but the cold snap in December brought an increased reliance on gas, as it coincided with a period of still weather. This increased the need for gas-fired power generation and, on some days, 61% of the electricity needed was generated by gas.
When looking at total National Transmission System (NTS) demand as a whole we saw a significant reduction in winter 2023/24 demand this was primarily due to lower gas exports to continental Europe, which are now approaching more normalised levels.
Supplies in winter 2023/24 were diverse, with UKCS & Norway providing the steady supplies we would usually expect. Flexible supplies came predominantly from Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and GB gas storage; imports from Continental Europe also provided some supply when it was needed.
