(asked on 10th October 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 his Department made of the cost of (a) repairing and (b) maintaining the Rough Gas Storage Field in 2017.
This question was answered on 18th October 2022
Centrica closed Rough in June 2017 for commercial reasons. This was not a decision for BEIS or Government ministers.
At the time, external analysis produced by Cambridge Economic Policy Associates (CEPA) found that the closure of Rough had limited to no impact on security of supply or the price of gas.
