In the latest Clear Conversations, we speak with our Operations Director Alex Hamilton about building long-term partnerships, raising standards across the utilities industry, and what good service really means.

January experienced heightened volatility in the wholesale market following a comparatively stable 2025.

In the latest instalment of Clear Conversations, we catch up with Chloe Morgan, our newest Utility Specialist, who joined the team earlier this month.

At the start of December prices were still on a downward trajectory as seasonal temperature predictions continued to be above normal. By the end of the month, day-ahead power had continued its bearish momentum, finishing on £45MW/h down from £76MWh, as strong wind output and lower demand added pressure.

At the end of the November day-ahead prices closed £15 MWh, up on the month start at £76.75, as colder weather and seasonal uncertainty took its toll. There was good news for the most part however with recent developments in the Ukraine peace talks helping to ease prices down for contracts next year.

Day ahead prices for power closed the month as they started on around £80/MWh which set the tone for much of the price markers in September, with the market trading sideways for all contracts out from Winter '25.

We’re back with the second instalment of Clear Conversations, our series that shines a light on the people who make Clear tick. This time, we’re sitting down with Chloé Mead, Sales and Customer Support Advisor, to hear more about her role and what drives her day to day.

As August got underway things were looking good, wind generation increased and at the same time temperatures began to ease and the market responded accordingly. By mid-month, optimism that peace might be achieved in Ukraine saw wholesale prices continue their slight downward trend.

Wholesale energy prices rose across the board this month with the largest gains being seen on deliveries for this year, especially August which saw a 10% gain. Gas prices followed a similar trend although the short term gains were softer in comparison.
