Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their estimate of the number of asset closures the UK gas market could withstand without affecting energy prices or security of supply.

The UK consistently has one of the largest and most liquid gas markets in Europe with extensive import infrastructure and a diverse range of gas supply sourcesThis winter we forecast 23% more daily capacity than peak demand. We are well placed to manage gas supply risks and any wholesale price impacts.
