The Electricity Market Review opportunity

• Demand for energy increasing.

• Higher percentage of price made up of levies and other charges.

• Less and less of the price is made up of the actual wholesale cost of the energy.

• These price rises are unavoidable.

• Businesses must focus on using less grid power and reducing their overall consumption.
