до сих пор в ахуе от того, что происходит
сейчас приходится всё смотреть на скай или DW и я слушаю/смотрю и ловлю себя на мысле, что это пиздец!

почти 2 года мы пользовались компанией газа и электричества, которые типо использовали только "зелёные" источники и как многие энерго-поставители они полетели (с начала августа начался кризис и к октябрю это дало осебе знать The primary cause of the price rises has been a surge in the wholesale price of natural gas worldwide.[1] Domestic supply only covers about 40% of the United Kingdom's needs,[1] while the rest is imported from neighbouring countries, such as Norway and the Netherlands, and further afield in Qatar and the United States, and Russia supplies around 5% of the UK market.[2][1] Gas prices rose by 250% between January and September 2021, with a 70% rise in the month of August alone.[3] The price increase was caused by a global surge in demand as the world quit the economic recession caused by COVID-19, particularly due to strong energy demand in Asia.[4][5]

Russia usually supplies 40%-50% of the European Union's consumption, while Algeria, Norway and LNG imports cover much of the rest.[6][2] Immediately prior to the crisis Russia supplied less than usual to Europe - it supplied gas in accordance with long-term contracts, but has not supplied additional gas on the spot market. The Economist Intelligence Unit reports that Russia had limited extra gas export capacity because of high domestic requirements with production near its peak, as well as technical issues.[2][7] During January-June 2021 Russia had supplied about 22% more gas to Europe than the same months in 2020, and almost the same amount as in 2019. Algeria had also increased supplies in those months, but other countries had supplied less, including Norway, the UK, and the Netherlands.[8]

The weather conditions also came to a disadvantage to Britain: a cold 2020/21 winter in the United Kingdom resulted in more natural gas being used for central heating than usual, depleting stockpiles,[4] which was worsened by an extra gas requirement for electricity generation over summer 2021 because of a series of nuclear power outages, the shutdown following a fire of the HVDC Cross-Channel interconnection bringing electricity from France, as well as the closure of the Rough storage facility, which made it impossible for Britain to maintain long-term reserves.[9] This was compounded in the United Kingdom by one of the least windy summers since 1961,[10][2] causing wind power generation to be lower than usual.

Many gas companies had sold consumers fixed-rate-tariff contracts for a fixed duration, e.g. a year, but had failed to sufficiently forward hedge against future wholesale gas price rises, so they were facing large losses on these fixed rate contracts.[11] Additionally legal restrictions on the maximum ordinary tariff gas companies are allowed to charge consumers meant that this price rise was unable to be entirely passed on to these customers. The result was that beginning in September 2021, some smaller gas supply companies went out of business due to bankruptcy
и теперь наш поставщик - это шелл - одна из 500 самых больших корпораций в мире ... вчера прочитали, что нас счёт будет не обычные 70, а новые 150-160 в месяц... надеюсь, что это "зимние" цены с отоплением... я это к тому, что это всё ещё до украины произошло...но надеюсь, что цены пост-украинские...
