Welcome to the Autumn 2026 issue of
Buying and Using Utilities.
Published four times a year, Buying and Using Utilities magazine is delivered direct to the country’s most influential corporate energy and water buyers.
The latest issue of Buying & Using Utilities looks at the changing energy and utilities environment and what it means in practice for major energy users.
From artificial intelligence and smarter energy management to changing procurement models, rising non-commodity costs and the growing role of flexibility, this edition examines some of the key issues shaping energy strategy today. We look at corporate power purchase agreements and unbundled REGO strategies, the potential of the Capacity Market to unlock new revenue from flexible assets, and approaches to managing renewable price volatility and improving revenue certainty.
The issue also brings together the latest thinking on energy regulation, policy and market reform, alongside practical perspectives on the technologies and strategies helping organisations manage cost, risk and carbon.
We also look ahead to the BUU Live Autumn Conference & Exhibition, taking place in Coventry on 14 October, where major energy users, industry experts and suppliers will come together to consider the decisions and developments likely to shape the years ahead.
With contributions from across the energy and utilities sector, this issue provides practical insight and informed perspectives for organisations making decisions around procurement, flexibility, regulation, technology and decarbonisation.
