LATEST MARKET UPDATE: Gas and Power prices are largely trading at parity with last week’s levels, despite some significant price swings at the front of the pricing curve. The bout of low pressure has seen reduced wind output, increasing demand for gas-fired power generation and stretching a European gas system which is struggling to attract global LNG. Winter prices have also been volatile with concerns over gas storage levels being partially offset by positive supply news surrounding the potential completion of the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline. Prices further out have been softer, as renewed coronavirus fears in the wake of the delta variant have weigh on global oil markets.

The Relationship How Did We Help Them?
After identifying a spike in their electricity bills the client was keen to establish energy efficiency policies and practices.
We installed smart meters for power, gas and water in all of their schools. enabling the group to accurately measure, monitor and record their usage.
In addition, we commissioned a high level energy survey at all of the sites. This identified a variety of issues that would benefit from investment.
We recommended energy reduction equipment and analysed the market to find the best price tariff and a renewal offer from E.ON for both gas and electricity was agreed upon.
