The UK energy regulator Ofgem revealed on Monday that some power plants in the country may cease operations due to a gas shortage caused by the energy crisis, as per local media.

Citing the regulator, The Times reported that the UK could declare a gas supply emergency, which could cut off supplies to some gas-fired power plants, rendering them unable to generate electricity.

The state's declaration of emergency is likely to increase fears of blackouts because the UK relies on gas-fired power plants for most of its electricity supply, according to the newspaper.

Power plants will be fined if they fail to deliver as much energy as promised, according to the UK power industry rules.
