The importance of our Rough gas storage facility has been underlined across November with a surge in demand caused by the current cold snap and severe weather. 🌡️ This month, Rough has supplied the UK with 4.35Bcf of gas, powering up to 3.8 million homes on some days. 🏠 On 5 November, Rough reached a new record fill level – the fullest it's been since reopening in 2022. Rough provides half of the UK’s total gas storage capacity, ensuring the UK is more insulated against rising gas prices and saving consumers money in the winter months. Centrica wants to invest £2bn in upgrading and redeveloping Rough to become the world’s largest hydrogen storage facility - essentially acting as a giant storage battery to provide back up to the renewables grid - this could save consumers £1bn a year by 2050 according to our latest research. 🔋 💚 #Energy #EnergyStorage #Hydrogen #WinterReadiness #RenewableEnergy Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e5VP5Tpk
