Record gas demand expected as National Grid issues second alert this weekNational Grid has issued its second Gas Balancing Alert (GBA) in the space of 48 hours with demand expected to reach a record daily high of 454 million cubic metres, 5mcm more than the previous record four years ago to the day. Continuing high levels of demand for heating because of the cold snap plus more technical problems affecting some Norwegian supplies prompted the GBA. Interruptible contracts in the East Midlands and North West England have been an element of the sector's demand-side response. National Grid reported that the gas market was quick to respond to the alert. Additional supplies are now coming in from liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals and from storage. Supplies from Norway via the Langeled pipeline have now been restored. Source: Utility Week © Faversham House Group Ltd 2010. News articles may be copied or forwarded
