Natural Gas will remain the back up of last resort for a long time as it is much cheaper than any other option (we are talking for 10-14 days running a year), the UK also plans to use significant amounts of natural gas to produce blue hydrogen as part of the net zero strategy so there is a lot of life left yet in the gas fields and you might as well produce it domestically as import it if that's what you are committing to and we currently import 50% anyway, so as things transition you can reduce the imports and increase security of supply

It’s used as a backup now, yes. But it doesn’t need to always be the case.
But; if we continue to do tomorrow what we do today then it’s likely to remain a crucial part of the mix.
