Friday's imports at minimum (4.32 mcm)

Friday 23rd December 2005 shows the real failings of the system. Only 4.32 mcm were imported via the Interconnector. Yes quite a bit went into storage (29 mcm in total), but we could have injected another 10 mcm quite easily into Long Term. Medium term is not full either.

We are now looking at a week with some really cold spells. Even at this short notice it would have been good to import more gas and put it straight into storage.

Today (Christmas Eve) should have seen about 12 mcm into storage. Christmas Day is predicted for injection, but this could change.
