SUMMARY

While gas prices increased marginally during the last period, electricity prices went in the opposite direction amid news that the highest source of power in the last month came from renewable sources.

Norwegian gas pipeline maintenance served as the primary source of the increases as Europe cautiously approaches the peak of Norwegian maintenance scheduled for next week.

On the storage front, continental facilities will reach 80% full early to mid next week, leaving ample room to meet the October–December target of 83%.

Even with French nuclear reactors being taken offline, electricity prices reduced.

Data from system operator NESO confirmed that renewables served as the largest source of power generation in August, with wind, solar and hydro comprising 37.4% of the power mix over the course of the month as gas fell to a modest 23.2%.

Say 'No' to cold calling on business energy

Unfortunately, business electricity and business gas customers in the UK are bombarded with unsolicited cold calls on a daily basis.

This unscrupulous approach does not offer the business energy customer an impartial view on the market and the price offered is more often 20-30% above the current retail price for electricity or gas.

At Energy Advice Line we strongly advise customers to not accept these offers and follow our simple steps to ensure that they are not locked into an uncompetitive contract.

Join our cold calling campaign here, and spread the word to say 'no' to cold calling on business energy!
