The Times, citing the energy regulator Ofgem, writes that Britain is threatened by an energy crisis due to a shortage of gas.

The publication specifies that the British authorities may declare an "emergency situation in the sphere of gas supply" because supplies of this fuel to some power plants may stop.

Plants that have stopped operating due to gas shortages could declare bankruptcy, and the upcoming winter season will be a serious test for Britain.

"The announcement is likely to heighten fears of scheduled blackouts because the United Kingdom relies on gas-fired power plants for the largest share of its electricity supply," the Times wrote.
