'Significant risk' of UK gas supply emergency, energy regulator warns
The information, which was revealed in a letter sent from Ofgem last week and first revealed by The Times, spoke of the possibility of "gas supply emergency" measures to help preserve stocks due to the impact of Russia's war in Ukraine which has starved Europe of its main source of natural gas.
A gas supply emergency can be declared when suppliers are unable to safely get gas to homes and businesses.
It could mean that some customers, starting with the largest industrial consumers, will be asked to stop using gas for a temporary period.
The aim would be to keep gas and gas-generated electricity supplies stable for households for as long as possible.
Sky News was expecting a statement from Ofgem to clarify its official position.
