Storms Isha and Jocelyn help drive wholesale gas prices to lowest for two years

How quickly energy bills for households and businesses will be cut to reflect the plunge in wholesale markets remains under scrutiny 

The first major Atlantic storms this winter have helped boost the amount of power generated by turbines, which should mean that less gas is required to run power stations.

Weekend storm Isha and looming Storm Jocelyn are helping drive prices of wholesale gas to their lowest for two years, spurring hopes for further deep cuts in energy bills.  

The North Atlantic storms have helped power wind turbines from Ireland to Poland and means less gas will be drawn down from Europe's ample storage supplies.
