SUMMARY

NBP wholesale prices increased further during the week, amid tightening Norwegian gas flows and the perceived lack of progress concerning the prospective Russia-Ukraine ceasefire.

With an increased reliance on Norwegian exports, due in part to a gradual, downward trend in UK production year-on-year, this weeks unplanned outage at Norway’s Troll field only serves to amplify the issues around large-scale maintenance works.

Updates regarding Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations have quietened over the past few days, meaning that market participants will have likely returned their focus to just supply and demand fundamentals.

Especially given the news that the Kremlin has signalled that President Putin may be unwilling to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart, President Zelenskyy.

On the power front, with a bullish wider energy complex and tightening gas supplies continuing to pressure prices throughout the week mixed with sharp gains on the carbon market, will have also added to the overall increases.

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!
