A week can be a long time in British Weather – unpredictability of British weather affecting energy prices!

‍

A colder-than-normal winter inevitably puts extra pressure on both gas and electricity prices. Colder spells increase heating demand at home and across Europe, as well as boosting gas-for-power generation, which quickly lifts wholesale prices. A mild winter, on the other hand, can give markets some breathing room and often pushes prices down. The unpredictable nature of weather remains the biggest swing factor in near-term energy costs. To date, UK Winter has been relatively mild, albeit with a really cold spell to start the year and typical uncertainty around what the coming weeks may look like.
