Wholesale prices are only part of the story. With the Autumn Budget on 28 October and winter bills coming into focus, network charges, policy costs and levies continue to shape what households and businesses pay. For some business sites, combined network charges could soon exceed wholesale electricity costs. In our latest blog by Ed Reed, we explore why non-commodity costs are among the most complex and fast-changing parts of the GB energy market, and what that means for anyone managing energy procurement.

Our Energy Users Lead, Jacob Briggs, joined David Edmonds on EDF Business & Wholesale's Talking Power podcast to discuss what is pushing up business energy costs and the steps organisations can take in response. In this clip, Jacob explains how the challenges differ between the transmission and distribution networks, and how flexibility can help meet rising demand from technologies such as EVs and heat pumps, without always needing to upgrade the wires. The full episode looks more broadly at what drives costs, including wholesale prices, network spending, policy charges and market reform, alongside the options open to businesses. Jacob's central point is that energy is no longer just a purchasing decision. With costs, risks and opportunities all shifting, it now deserves a place in wider business strategy.

Your Licence Exempt Supply (LES) questions, answered. Our recent webinar with Enosi, Licence Exempt Supply: Experts Unpack P442, prompted a wide range of questions from across the market. From which assets can participate and how LES interacts with existing support schemes, to cost shifting, policy risk and what it could mean for community energy. We couldn’t get to all the questions live, so we’ve grouped the outstanding ones by theme and set out our responses in a new blog from Robert Buckley. Read the blog: cornwall-insight.com/insight… We’ll be continuing the conversation at CI Live 2026 on 4 November at Glaziers Hall in London. Join senior energy leaders, including the CEOs of Octopus Energy, EDF Energy and E.ON UK, for a full day of high-level debate, market-leading insight and networking.
