How is gas imported?
Britain imports gas mainly as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) by ship from countries like Qatar and the US, and via pipelines from Norway and other European neighbours. This diverse supply helps NESO and National Gas keep the network secure, even with potential 'tight days' this winter.
