(asked on 8th March 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the level of UK gas imports from Russia over the last five years by (a) percentage and (b) GWh.
This question was answered on 16th March 2022
The UK only receives direct gas in the form of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from Russia, since there are no gas pipelines directly linking the UK with Russia. Over the last five years (2017-2021), UK gas imports from Russia accounted for, on average, 2% of the UK’s gas supply portfolio.
On average, over the last five years (2017-2021), the UK received 21506 GWh of LNG from Russia.
