Britain close to low gas alert Reserves have fallen to less than a week's supply of UK needs BRITAIN'S gas network operator is on the verge of issuing an emergency alert that could lead to cuts for industrial users and potentially affect Ireland, which takes 90% of its supply from Britain. The National Grid in Britain said it could issue the "gas balancing alert" in the next two to three days because reserves had fallen to less than a week's supply of UK needs. Suppliers were forced to dip into reserves last week after energy companies began siphoning gas out of Britain to supply other parts of Europe.
