Energy Insight: a key energy briefing

Managing energy effectively in the current climate requires close attention.

With so much changing, finding the time to understand how this impacts UK businesses can be difficult. That's why we're hosting a key energy briefing, which includes:

Spring Budget: what support is there for businesses?

Ben Whitelam, Director of Commercial, reviews the main energy-related announcements from the government’s latest Budget – and how they are likely to impact UK businesses. He'll explore any net zero support, tax incentives and signals regarding future energy security and innovation.

Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS)

Louisa Stuart-Smith, Regulation Manager, will share information about a government initiative that is set to revolutionise the UK's electricity systems and processes, providing the flexibility needed to support the transition to net zero. She'll explore what it is, what it aims to achieve, what it means for our customers and key industry dates to be aware of.

Wholesale energy update

A guest speaker from Cornwall Insight, Ben Reade, will highlight the key emerging trends in the energy market and what these mean for businesses as we navigate the coming seasons.

Energy costs: the rise and fall of non-commodity charges

While the share of network, system and policy costs added to energy invoices is growing, not all charges are increasing – at least not in the immediate term. Niall Coyle from the Industry Charging Team identifies the charges set to fall – and those rising at the fastest rates.

Future energy: UK renewable capacity

The UK needs to dramatically expand its renewable energy capacity to meet our net zero targets. After the latest Capacity Market auction, Michelle Stephen's from our Generation Team will look at how quickly we are adding new generation, and in which technologies. She will also outline trends in the growing Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) market, which is becoming a popular route for businesses wishing to secure carbon-free energy.
