Monthly Wholesale Reports

April 2023

March 2023

March 2023

The market continued to decline in March, but at a reduced rate compared to the previous months. Gas saw a 2.3% loss in value, with power seeing slightly more losses at 3.7%. Though the figures would indicate settled market conditions, we did see plenty of intra-month volatility.

February 2023

February 2023

The market continues its downward streak in February, but at a reduced rate, with month-to-month losses of 16% on the UK gas market, and 11% losses on power.
February was a month of reduced volatility compared to what we are used to seeing, with the market trying to settle at this price range. Still, an overall bearish month.

January 2023

January 2023

Another month of substantial losses in the markets over January, with wholesale prices falling by 25% on gas and 27% on the power market. Prices trended downwards all month, but most of the heavy losses occurred at the start of the month, carrying on from December's trend. Overall, prices are 80% from all time highs in August, and 50% down in the last two months.

December 2022
December 2022

Substantial losses in the markets over December, with wholesale prices collapsing by 43% on both gas and power markets. The majority of losses occurred in the second half of the month, making the fall in value even more dramatic and rapid. Below we outline the key market drivers of the month.

November 2022
November 2022

Little change in the markets month to month, with gas gaining 3.4% and power down 0.7%. A rarity to see these two markets move in opposite directions, but they just about did in November. Despite the small changes in values, plenty has happened in the energy world to take note of over November.

October 2022
October 2022

Substantial losses in the markets over October, with prices roughly losing 1/4 off valuations as concerns begin to ease. For the first time this year, we have bearish factors outweighing the bullish ones.

September 2022
September 2022

After a record breaking gain last month, of over 50%, a mere 7% drop may not be cause for cheer. But it is finally a shift in market momentum we have not seen in a very long time. As the previous page shows, gas prices were down 7.1%, while power prices slightly greater at 9.5%.

August 2022
August 2022

We have witnessed the highest gains ever recorded in a month over August, with a 50% gain in both commodities. Prices ran up relentlessly, before pulling back on the last day of the month as a number of bullish factors pushed prices to newfound heights.

July 2022
July 2022

July is yet another month of dramatic price rises. Notably, we have seen power wholesale prices surge 43% to break into all-time high valuations. Over the last two months, we have seen energy prices nearly double. Simply put, wholesale costs are ten times higher than they where in 2020.

June 2022
June 2022

June has seen a dramatic rise in prices, which has followed on from a period of settled market prices. We have seen a 35% gain in gas prices and 22% in Power. What this means is prices are close to all-time highs once more, nearing levels we saw at the start of March.

May 2022
May 2022

Following falling prices in April, May has seen a modest rise of around 5% in each commodity. The volatility in the markets is still present, but easing off from the heights we saw over March. Over the last three months, prices are relatively unchanged, with no long term trend in movement.
