The conflict, sparked by Russia's invasion of its neighbour, has starved Europe of its main source of natural gas. As a result, a gas supply emergency could be declared.

This can happen when suppliers are unable to safely get gas to businesses and homes. Should this happen, for a temporary period customers would be asked to stop using gas in a bid to keep supplies stable.
