In this podcast, Kenny Hallet, Head of Sales Development and Nick Parr, Head of Major Business Commercial join the team at Future Net Zero to give a quick market update. They look back at the past few years to talk through the energy market and how we’ve got to where we are now!

They discuss the landscape through covid, the war in Ukraine and an energy crisis to market stability and normality in 2024, touching on how as a business we managed daily spikes, changing consumer appetite for energy procurement and how we’ve diversified our product offering to strike a balance between risk and budget certainty.

What happened with demand destruction as working from home became the norm, is the market evolving so that automation, better data and flexible consumption become common place and is Kenny about to be replaced by AI!? Listen to find out…

Podcast highlights:

• Nick states customers and suppliers have had to understand what the risks are and how to get through these. We saw markets spike on a daily basis, which created a challenging environment for everyone.
• Demand destruction has been significant and we’ve learnt how to reduce our demand. With a milder winter, we’ve an abundance of storage!
• Current landscape has been stable, so some customers have planned ahead and reforecast in line with usage.
