Come winter, I hope we look after number one before others. If they want it so badly, they should expect to have to pay for the prioritisation of themselves over us.

We can't store it though. They're looking at re-opening Rough gas storage.
It says minimum 4 months reading it again.
Thats uncertainty though, minimum 4 months means 4 months and possibly more, it doesnt mean will be more.

Surely nobody knows what she is actually going to do yet? She'll have options, she will have to pick one or more.
What I mean is, we should take what we need first without having to do without. If any other countries want the excess, fine, but if they expect to siphon our supply from us to the extent that we are without gas, they ought to pay for that privilege.
Or she might not pick anything?
Riots and theft/looting will happen but that's future PMs problem!

She'll pick one, even if it's only helping wealthier people.

4 months says to me it'll be past winter before its any actual use, ie. storing more cheaply available gas to be used later such as a harsh winter, etc. Russia is immediately cutting supplies in the middle of a heat wave because they well know, allowing a buffer to be stored up reduces their stranglehold on europe and to them thats how to bargain.
We just have to hope this winter is a blazer, 20c Greta special in December would be nice

Our supply from North Sea gas doesn't cover our own usage, we import gas from Europe and also from around the world via LNG.
At the moment we are exporting gas from LNG as its summer and it's sold at the market rate. I don't think the UK can buy it cheaper from the north sea than the market rate as its all in the hands of private companies.

The bolded part is simply utter nonsense.. The UK's total lack of resilience has NOTHING to do with Germany AT ALL. It is the repeated failures of successive UK governments who have totally failed to invest in power infrastructure and decomissioned almost all our gas storage.
This really smacks of another "Lets blame the EU, Lets blame Europe, Lets blame Germany" trope and it's utter BS.

Well another paper now is saying its 2 years which sounds much better. Seems maybe the tory deliberate leaks stuff to test public reaction.
Anyone upsized any radiators recently? I've dropped my flow temperature a lot on my combi, but even prior to doing that my kitchen and dining room were poorly sized radiator wise. Not under sized by an online calculator but undersized by the rest of the house unfortunately.
They're all two panel, two pipe or whatever, but looking at going 3/2

BBC One - Panorama, The Energy Crisis: Who's Cashing In?
Bronagh Munro investigates the big companies that are profiting from rising energy bills.
I'm assuming you're on the FIT rates? Kind it very hard to believe you could make that much selling only excess at 7p a kWh
I belive you have me picked me up wrong
I'm paying £165 quid a month in electricity
A friend had a 3.5KW installed for £4.5k
I've known a couple of people who found the electric meter on their house was actually for the neighbour. Both cases appeared have been a construction error and that way since the houses were built.
I've also known someone who bought a house and found eventually it was the neighbour's garage that was the idle load on the house - in that case it looked deliberate but couldn't tell how long it been happening !

Sure - for the customers they had at that point in time.
What about new customers that joined a supplier from March, right up to today?! No supplier buys energy a year in advance, for customers they didn’t have. Hence why new fixed deals are not at Feb prices.
