Introduction
In all the history of UK energy supply, there has probably never been a more pressing time to understand how the energy we use is generated, traded and supplied – as well as all the different components that influence the price we pay for this vital commodity.
That’s why we’re creating a series of ‘Energy Made Simple’ reports – to provide a straight-forward explanation of all the key aspects of energy that will help you become more informed about the power and gas your business consumes.
We hope you find them useful.
