    The short answer is "no, it isn't".

    Going into Spring / Summer rather than Autumn / Winter it would make sense that both would fall as Solar power would deliver more to the grid and for longer per day, this in turn reduces Gas use to generate power at the same time that household & business Gas for heating is also reduced.
