Details

Whether or not you feel like the energy markets have now stabilised, many businesses are still exposed to movements in wholesale electricity and international gas markets, including through fixed-price contracts.

Gas generation still sets the UK wholesale electricity price around 60% of the time, while UK wholesale gas prices rose by around 75% between late February and late March 2026. For businesses renewing energy contracts, that volatility can feed directly into the prices and risk premiums they are offered. UrbanChain calls this the ‘volatility tax’.

This webinar will look at where that exposure enters your energy costs, why some fixed contracts and PPAs can still leave businesses exposed and which alternative procurement approaches can offer greater price certainty.

You’ll also hear directly from E2 Energy Partners about how it has approached energy procurement, the changes it has made to reduce its exposure to market volatility, and what other businesses can learn from its experience.
