Energy Prices: How to Protect Your Business in a Market Without a Safety Net
With the domestic energy price cap projected to increase a predicted 3% this April on top of last month’s 1% increase. Businesses are likely to see a similar increase with shifts in the market having a big impact on the bottom line.
The Challenges Businesses Face:
Unlike the domestic market with a price cap, businesses have no upper limit on what they might pay for energy, exposing us to the full force of market volatility.
Even small percentage increases can eat into businesses profit margins, potentially forcing difficult decisions to be made. Often, businesses are less likely to invest in growth initiatives due to the uncertainty of unpredictable energy costs. This can impact pricing strategies, making it difficult to price products and services. Furthermore, businesses with less efficient energy consumption are at a significant disadvantage to those who have invested in energy saving measures.
