Ireland will not run out of gas this winter, says network operator  

The business group that represents the European electricity grid operators says that Irish electricity system, some of which uses gas for power generation, faces what it calls "adequacy risks" through the winter

Gas Networks Ireland said although we are facing 'an elevated risk', there is enough gas in the system for the whole winter.

There is enough supply to ensure the Republic of Ireland does not run out of gas this winter despite the continuing risk of fallout from the war in Ukraine, according to the gas network operator. 

Gas Networks Ireland, in a new assessment, said although we are facing "an elevated risk", there is enough gas in the system for the whole winter "including in the case of an extremely cold day that would only occur once every 50 years".
