It's clear market and regulatory failure here, isn't it? There was no business case for Centrica to maintain storage at the time and no strategic requirement from the regulator to fund it.
How? They still have to pay the same prices for the energy.
With 28m households, £2.8bn would only reduce the cap by £100. How many suppliers are making those sorts of profits?
Germany has a lot of storage, but is still having to high prices for gas, especially to refill that storage.

So what have the £3bn profits of GERMAN company E.ON got to do with the UK? Split that up into the number of countries they do business in, and you're not left with much.
