Wholesale energy prices eased in 2025, but stability is still fragile. Gas and power remain well above pre-crisis levels, while rising grid costs, new nuclear charges, and geopolitical risk continue to pressure business energy bills. This update breaks down what moved prices in 2025, what could shake markets in 2026, and how UK businesses can protect their budgets before regulatory costs rise again.
November’s UK energy markets saw sharp short-term swings in day-ahead prices as wind generation fluctuated, while forward contracts remained stable, signalling manageable winter conditions ahead. Government updates on industrial energy policy, nuclear levies, and North Sea plans add further context for businesses planning renewals. Dyce Energy helps SMEs navigate market volatility with fixed-price contracts, renewable options, and expert guidance.
New Nuclear RAB charges and upcoming increases to TNUoS costs are set to impact business energy bills. Nuclear RAB charges will help fund new low-carbon nuclear projects, while TNUoS standing charges are forecasted to rise by up to 90% in 2026/27, according to NESO.
With these changes on the horizon, Dyce Energy is taking a clear approach: any fixed-rate contract signed before the end of 2025 will remain fixed, no matter how much Nuclear RAB or TNUoS charges rise.
As we near the end of 2025, the UK energy market remains steady but watchful. Recovering gas flows, high storage levels, and mild weather have supported stability, though variable wind output and LNG disruptions added pressure. Forward prices have edged higher, reflecting continued caution heading into winter.
This month, Dyce Energy explores what’s driving prices, from calls to reform Ofgem to the £1 billion spent curtailing wind generation, and outlines what to watch in November, helping your business plan ahead with confidence.
September was steady overall but never dull. Norwegian gas maintenance eased by month-end, storage stayed high, and a windy spell briefly crashed UK day-ahead power below £30/MWh. Forward contracts hardly moved, a reminder that calm averages can disguise sharp intraday swings. With autumn underway, weather, wind and supply flows will set the tone, and planning ahead still pays.
August’s energy markets were relatively steady, with strong European gas storage, consistent LNG arrivals, and increased wind generation helping to balance supply. Norwegian maintenance kept a cautious undertone, reminding SMEs that prices can still move quickly. Planning ahead remains essential for managing energy costs and securing budget certainty.
Rising energy costs have become a major challenge for UK businesses, with bills still around 70% higher than pre-2022 levels. From global conflicts to supply chain pressures, prices remain volatile and unpredictable. In this blog, we explore why costs have risen, what this means for businesses, and the strategies you can use to protect your bottom line.
What is Net Zero, and why should your business care? Net Zero is all about balancing the greenhouse gases your business produces with those removed from the atmosphere. In this guide, we break down what net zero really means, why it matters, the challenges businesses face, and the practical steps you can take to start your sustainability journey.
August brought some relief in wholesale markets as both gas and power prices eased from July’s peaks. Even so, costs remain far higher than historic norms, and sudden price shifts continue to challenge businesses. For SMEs, the mood is cautiously optimistic, but careful planning is still essential.
