Current Energy Market Outlook
The energy market remains unpredictable as global pressures, including geopolitical events, carbon reduction targets, and supply chain fluctuations, continue to impact gas and electricity prices. Although prices have fallen from the extreme highs seen in recent years, they remain volatile and significantly higher than pre-2021 levels.
Seasonal trends, particularly heading into the autumn and winter months, are expected to drive prices up again. This makes it essential for rugby clubs to consider their energy strategy now rather than face potentially higher costs later in the year.
Why Rugby Clubs Should Act Now
- Price Protection: Securing a fixed energy tariff today helps protect your club from sudden price increases.
- Financial Stability: Fixed contracts support reliable budgeting and financial planning.
The Value of Longer-Term Energy Contracts
- Cost Predictability: Lock in costs for 24–36 months for improved medium-term planning.
- Market Protection: Shield your club from future price spikes.
- Operational Simplicity: Fewer renewals and easier contract management.
