Hey everyone! Here’s a quick update on the commercial energy market this June:

🔹 Weather and Wind Generation: In the UK, temperatures are forecasted to average 16°C in week 25, closer to seasonal norms. This should reduce gas demand and increase supplies. Additionally, wind generation is predicted to be 20% above seasonal levels until the end of the week, which should help keep prices stable.

🔹 Market Trends: Current trends indicate a rise in power contract prices due to decreased solar generation. Gas prices have also increased because of new unplanned outages in the Norwegian Shelf and ongoing outages at the Visund field. However, weather conditions are expected to moderate these impacts.

🔹 Strategic Recommendations: Given the current market conditions, it may be an ideal time for businesses to lock in energy rates for their next contracts before prices are expected to rise in October. Implementing energy efficiency measures, such as checking and adjusting heating schedules during warmer months and using air conditioning and fans wisely, can also help reduce consumption and running costs.

🔹 Unpredictable Nature: Considering the unpredictable nature of the energy market, it is essential to factor in various influences such as weather, currency fluctuations, and changes in supply and demand. These insights aim to empower businesses to make well-informed decisions regarding their energy procurement and needs.
