Got Questions About the Energy Market?

We’ve Got The Answers

Explore our FAQs to learn how these weekly insights can help you lock in better rates and stay ahead of market changes.

  • 1. What Are Weekly Energy Market Updates?

    Our weekly energy market updates summarise the latest trends in gas and electricity prices, supplier shifts, and relevant news—giving you a quick snapshot of what’s driving UK energy costs. By checking these insights, you can decide whether to lock in a new energy contract or wait for a more favourable market.

  • 2. Why Are UK Energy Prices So Volatile?

    UK energy prices often fluctuate due to factors like global fuel supply, geopolitical events, and seasonal demand. Changes in gas imports or unexpected power outages can quickly shift prices, affecting both short-term and long-term energy contracts.

  • 3. How Do Weekly Market Reports Help My Business?

    By monitoring our weekly reports, you’ll see whether gas and electricity rates are trending up or down. This information helps you decide when to renew your business energy contract, budget for utility expenses, or switch to a more competitive supplier.

  • 4. When Is the Best Time to Renew My Energy Contract?

    There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but many businesses start checking rates 6–12 months before their current deal ends. Our weekly updates can highlight price dips or upcoming policy changes, helping you secure a more favourable rate at the right moment.

  • 5. Can I Lock in a Fixed Rate If My Contract Hasn’t Ended Yet?

    Yes. Many suppliers offer “forward purchasing,” allowing you to agree on a future rate before your current contract expires. Just bear in mind that any new contract you agree, will only come into effect when your current contract expires. Keep an eye on our weekly market insights to spot good rates early, especially if prices are expected to rise.

  • 6. What Factors Influence Energy Prices in the UK?

    Energy prices fluctuate based on fuel availability, geopolitical tensions, weather patterns, and even currency exchange rates. Our market updates break down these factors weekly so you can plan your next energy contract with up-to-date insights.

  • 7. How Can I Stay Informed on Daily or Monthly Trends?

    Alongside our weekly reports, we publish daily and monthly recaps for those who need more frequent updates. Subscribing to our newsletter or checking our blog ensures you never miss a shift in supplier rates or market conditions.
