DOMESTIC gas bills are expected to soar this winter as the future cost of gas hits record highs. The price of gas for delivery in October is currently 66p a therm, a 75% premium on this point last year.
Dwindling production from traditional gas supplies and delays in the development of new sources has led to a drop in supply, forcing the price up.
Energy regulator Ofgem recently warned that North Sea gas supplies would drop by 20m cubic metres a day this winter, 5% of total demand.
