The UK government is being urged to convene emergency meetings in response to a significant spike in wholesale gas prices following an attack on a major LNG plant.
The UK government faces increasing pressure to hold emergency meetings as it grapples with a 35% surge in wholesale gas prices, raising alarms about a potential 'energy bill disaster' for millions of households. The price surge was triggered by Iran's strikes on Qatar's largest liquefied natural gas plant, leading to heightened concerns about energy affordability across the nation. In a direct response, US President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran if the situation escalates further.
