The UK is projected to experience a consistent decline in natural gas stock from 2024 to 2028. The data indicates a year-on-year decline, with the largest decreases occurring annually as stock changes fall from -23,350 TJ in 2024 to -30,540 TJ in 2028. This forecasted trend reflects ongoing challenges in supply or increased demand necessitating grid drawdowns. As of 2023, the actual stock change figures were reportedly similar in trajectory, continuing a declining pattern over recent years.
Future trends to watch for include UK's energy mix evolution, regulatory changes, and global gas market dynamics that could exacerbate or alleviate supply challenges.
