Tuesday 7 July (11.00-12.30)

Why the UK is still exposed to Energy Shocks

Events of recent months have showed us just how sensitive global energy markets remain to geopolitical shocks, with the conflict in Iran once again exposing the fragility of key oil and gas supply routes like the Strait of Hormuz. These disruptions are feeding rapid price movements across global markets, which flow through into UK wholesale energy via LNG markets and marginal gas pricing. Despite lessons from the Russia energy crisis, exposure to global volatility remains a structural feature of the system, creating ongoing uncertainty for large energy consumers around pricing, budgeting and risk.

At the same time, UK energy bills are becoming increasingly shaped by a growing layer of non-commodity costs, reflecting how the system is now funded, regulated and evolving over time.

This webinar explores these two forces, and how businesses can better understand and manage exposure to cost volatility.

With our specialist focus on supplying large energy consumers, we’re well placed to simplify market challenges and use innovation to help you adapt to – and benefit from – the shift to a more sustainable future.
