One of the properties methane gas and other natural gases such as hydrogen, butane, and ethylene is that they are flammable and just a little spark is able to little them up.
One thing about these flammable gases is that they have to be provided with an oxidant and a then a simple source of ignition will make it burn.
But the level of flammability varies with the gas itself, for example methane is more flammable than hydrogen.
Therefore, it is true that electricity if there is short circuiting that causes a spark, this can act like a source of ignition that can light up methane or the other natural gases like hydrogen if there is a high amount of oxidant.
