Wednesday 6 November (14.00 – 15.30)

What’s behind rising industry charges – and how to limit the impact on your bottom line

This two-part webinar will clearly explain the drivers behind rising electricity costs – and then provide valuable insights to help your business limit their impact on your bottom line.

In his presentation, Senior Costing and Risk Manager Stephen Evans will examine:

• Historical energy costs and the increasing share of industry charges added to invoices – from the early 2000s to today
• The policy decisions behind the rise in green subsidies – and how these are set to develop, both in number and cost
• The impact to our electricity networks of shifting from fossil fuel generation to renewables – and the logistic and financial challenges this creates
• The issues of balancing a net zero network  – and why the geographic location of consumers will become more relevant
• The impact of regulation on future non-commodity charges
• How much electricity costs are likely to rise out to 2030 – and the long-term future forecast

Then commercial energy management expert Gareth Metcalf will outline how businesses can respond, with valuable insights that include:

• Why visualising your energy consumption can unlock cost reductions
• How to optimise electricity use with the latest technologies and approaches that drive greater efficiencies and behavioural change
• The financial benefits of embracing flexibility and demand side response
• What to consider to best support cost-effective decarbonisation
• Why a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) could provide greater electricity price certainty
