About the reports.
Every trading day. We publish a daily
energy market report, a weekly

The daily
report is a quick read on what moved today and why. The weekly

Watch the 30-day trend and the forward curve for your renewal window: when prices are easing you may have room to wait; when they firm up it can pay to fix. If you'd rather not track it yourself, we'll do it for you — get a quote
and we'll advise on timing.
No. We report wholesale market prices
— what's happening now and how the market has recently moved — not a prediction of where prices will go. Your quoted business rate sits above these wholesale figures.
Yes. Alongside prices we cover supplier updates
(contract rules, billing, notices) and industry changes
(Ofgem, network costs, levies) — the things that quietly move your bill.
If your contract ends and you don't renew, you roll onto the supplier's out-of-contract (deemed) rates
— usually far higher than a fixed deal. We track these, and we flag your renewal so you're never left on them by accident.
Ready when you are
Reading the market is half of it. We'll time the rest.
You've seen where prices sit. Now let a real adviser put it to work — we compare 28+ UK suppliers and fix your renewal at the right moment. Free, no obligation, no hard sell.
