Strategic Energy Planning: Making the Smart Choice in the UK's Rising Power Price Era

Introduction

As we stride into 2024, UK business owners and decision makers are facing a critical juncture in energy management. With the latest report from Cornwall Insight revealing a complex landscape of power prices - a 12% reduction in the short-term power market price forecast but an average cost prediction of £113 per MWh for 2024 - the question looms: How long should you fix your energy prices in this turbulent market?

Understanding the UK Power Price Forecast

Cornwall Insight's report illuminates a surprising dip in short-term forecasts, thanks primarily to unexpectedly ample gas reserves in Europe. However, this respite is somewhat fleeting. The average costs for 2024 remain significantly high, impacted by Europe's shift to international liquified natural gas and the steady climb in electricity demand coupled with increased exports to Europe.


Deciding the Duration for Fixing Energy Prices

In these uncertain times, fixing your energy prices can be a savvy move. But for how long? The answer lies in balancing current market conditions with future projections. With prices expected to stabilize around £83 per MWh by 2029, a medium to long-term fix could be beneficial, guarding your business against potential price spikes in the interim.
