Britain secures gas supply from Belgium before winter crunch

Britain has secured a gas supply from Belgium to mitigate a potential winter crunch. This last-minute agreement follows years of declining domestic gas production. Meanwhile, Ofgem has warned that the UK could run out of gas this winter. According to the regulator, gas supply resilience has been significantly reduced due to falling North Sea reserves and a reduction in imports, highlighting the critical nature of the new Belgian deal for national energy security.
