Long-term Forecast Report
Understanding the energy markets is key to a successful energy management strategy and it can also aid your financial planning.
Market volatility continues to influence our energy prices, however the wholesale cost is no longer the only concern.
Non-Commodity Costs (NCCs) such as Feed-in Tariff (FiT), Renewables Obligation (RO), and Climate Change Levy (CCL) are contributing to a large portion of your energy bills.
These third party charges are added to your energy bills and include; network costs to pay for the upkeep of the networks that supply your energy, the costs of supporting government environmental obligations, and the subsidy of energy efficiency schemes.
With the introduction of the Electricity Market Reform (EMR) in 2013 and the demise of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) set for 2019, these charges are set to soar.
Our in-house analysis shows that by 2025, these additional charges will account for 60% of your electricity costs.
