Yes, and the correlation between the energy generation and colder weather meaning less wind/solar energy is sensible.
But there's also the obvious one that if it's colder people will be staying in more and also will be using more energy to heat their homes, which won't all be obtained from gas. And of course more gas being used to heat their homes might lead to less being available to make electricity, if that's the shortage.
I still think this is another boiling frog and they'll be doing it more and more then charging more for electricity in that period... there's much further they can take this too.
