Navigating energy market volatility amid Middle East tensions

Navigating energy market volatility amid Middle East tensions

The recent escalation in the Iran-Gulf conflict has increased volatility across global energy markets.

With critical infrastructure such as the Strait of Hormuz under threat, uncertainty has risen sharply. But what does this mean for organisations planning their energy strategies in 2026?

In this webinar, we provide a clear, data-driven overview of the current geopolitical landscape and its impact on UK gas and electricity prices. Our experts will explain why markets are reacting despite the UK’s limited direct reliance on Middle Eastern energy, exploring key drivers such as LNG supply risk, oil-linked pricing, and the role of market sentiment and risk premiums.

We’ll also compare today’s conditions with the 2022 energy crisis, highlighting key differences and the lessons organisations can apply when making procurement decisions.

Join this session to gain practical insight into:

Current energy pricing trends

The risks of reacting to short-term market volatility

Effective procurement strategies, including fixed vs flexible contracts

Register now and we’ll help you navigate market uncertainty and make informed, confident energy purchasing decisions.
