Original Note:
The primary UK gas storage facility ("Rough") was closed under Theresa May's government. Under Boris Johnson's government, in 2022, talks were started to re-open Rough. It currently operates at just 20% capacity. The lack of gas storage is unrelated to wind generation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_(facility) https://www.centrica.com/media-centre/news/2023/centrica-s-rough-storage-facility-pumps-gas-into-grid-to-meet-increased-demand/ https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/oct/28/uk-biggest-gas-storage-site-brought-back-online-winter
