U.K. will be able to withstand a potential cut in Russian natural gas supplies to Europe by boosting liquefied natural gas imports, according to National Grid Plc.

In average winter conditions, Britain’s gas demand will be met as normal if Russian gas flows to the European Union are disrupted, the Warwick, England-based network manager said today in its Winter Outlook. Some Dutch and Norwegian imports may have to be diverted away from the U.K. to meet increased demand in mainland Europe, according to the grid.
