Research from Cornwall Insight (looking at Great Britain’s (GB) Power Market to 2030) has shown energy prices will remain in excess of £100/MWh annually. This is significantly above the five year pre-2021 historic average of £50/MWh in Winter and the even lower prices in pre-2021 Summer. “While we are used to seeing headlines depicting energy…
