Celebrating my 5th year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

Back in 2020 I was fed up of my businesses being stitched up by unscrupulous brokers and suppliers, so I established WISER UTILITIES LTD, an ethical disruptor in the utilities industry, specifically aimed at helping businesses navigate the pitfalls, and provide industry insights, advice, and support.
In theory, YOU, THE CUSTOMER, should not feel any pain from your energy contracts or even find yourself wasting valuable time and effort handling issues resulting from poor supplier service. A good broker should be actively working to resolve them for you. Equally, they should be acting in YOUR best interest not THEIRS, so the commission uplifts they add to the base unit rate and/ or standing charges that earn their commissions, should be completely transparent. If they aren't forthcoming with their commissions and payment terms, then ask yourself why not?

I work with a host of suppliers and must admit, I don't know of any suppliers where at some point a customer hasn't encountered an issue. What is IMPORTANT, though, is having a GOOD BROKER who is contactable whenever you need them, day/ night/ evenings/ weekends/ holidays, to pick up your issue and see it through to a speedy resolution.
That's why a lot of businesses, charities, and community interests rely on me as their Trusted Partner, as opposed to using the services of TRANSACTIONAL BROKER who you can't reach when you really need 24x 7 support!
If you want some insights or just some advice. it's free, my phone's always on, just give me a ring.
My services include metering, upgrades/downgrades, HV/LV solutions, tenancy changes, contract renewals, billing queries, dispute resolution, meter read logging, Ombudsman cases, consumption analytics etc.

You may have seen the recent announcement that AS OF EARLY NOVEMBER, TOMATO ENERGY HAS CEASED TRADING.
Whilst I don't have any customers myself with them, it’s always disappointing to see a supplier exit the market, and I believe it’s important to ensure that affected customers remain supported and supplied.
If you need any support, advice or completely transparent quotes, feel free to get in touch. I'm happy to give you preferential rates through my business Wiser Utilities.
I happily share with you the base rates I get from the solid suppliers I choose to work with, so there's no unethical commissions or push of long term contracts.

Just an open, honest, and transparent service.

P.S. As of Friday, OFGEM told me that the SoLR Supplier of Last Resort hasn't been identified YET!

Under the Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) safety net, customers’ energy supply will continue and funds that domestic customers have paid into their accounts, including existing credit balances, will be protected. Domestic customers will also be protected by the energy price cap when being switched to a new supplier.

Customers of Tomato Energy will be contacted by their new supplier, which will be allocated by Ofgem in the coming days.
Ofgem’s advice to affected customers in the meantime is to:
Wait until a new supplier has been appointed and you have been contacted by them in the following weeks before looking to switch to another energy supplier
Take a meter reading ready for when your new supplier contacts you. This will make the process of transferring customers over to the chosen supplier and honouring any funds that domestic customers have paid into their accounts, where they are in credit, as smooth as possible.

Any questions, I'm happy to help.

Here’s how Trump’s ultimatum—50 days for a peace deal or 100% tariffs on Russian exports and secondary sanctions on buyers—has affected global gas and electricity markets:

---

# # 🌍 1. Crude Oil & LNG Dynamics

* **Oil prices dropped slightly** as markets believed there’s still time to avoid sanctions. Brent and WTI slipped about \$1 per barrel (\~1–2%) after the news, partly due to doubts Russia would be targeted immediately and concerns rising over broader tariffs slowing global demand ([Reuters][1]).

* **LNG markets remain sensitive**. Analysts from bne IntelliNews and Capital Economics warn the impact on natural gas could be more profound than on oil. Russian export disruptions would tighten the gas market faster, given less spare capacity compared to oil ([IntelliNews][2]).

---

# # ⚡ 2. Electricity Markets & Broader Impacts

* **Rising gas costs push up electricity prices**, especially in Europe, where gas-fired plants are a key source. Even modest gas price moves ripple through power bills.

* **Energy mix shifting**: Europe already reduced Russian piped gas since 2022. Any disruption now would accelerate demand for LNG (from U.S., Qatar, etc.) and renewable generation . While that aids energy transition, power costs may rise in the short term.

---

# # 🚚 3. Supply Chain & Shipping Effects

* **Shadow fleet disruptions**: Secondary sanctions targeting banks, insurers, and vessels engaged with Russian oil/gas may shrink the shadow tanker fleet, further tightening energy shipments ([Splash247][3]).

* **Global supply chain shifts**: Buyers like China, India, and Turkey will need to restructure procurement—potentially reshuffling global trade flows, with logistical and price turbulence in the near term .

---

# # 🔎 Market Outlook Summary

| **Short term** | Slight softening of oil prices (since deadline is distant); growing upward pressure on gas prices due to strategic uncertainty
|
| **Medium term** | If tariffs are enforced: strong rise in global gas prices, sharp uptick in oil; electricity costs climb, especially in gas-reliant regions
|
| **Worst case** | Sanctions force major economies to choose—and likely pivot away from Russian energy—leading to structural supply realignment and price inflation in energy markets

---

Markets are in "wait‑and‑see" mode.
The looming 50‑day deadline (around **September 3, 2025**) is the pivotal checkpoint—if Trump follows through, expect spikes in natural gas, electricity, and oil pricing, especially in export-reliant regions.

🌅✨ Breakfast with a View & Big Ideas ✨🌅

Every week for years, we’ve gathered at Tynemouth for an early business breakfast – and it never disappoints. It’s not just about breakfast butties; it’s about brainstorming with friends in business, sharing challenges, solutions, and inspiration.

👥 From fresh startups to seasoned pros (including an accountant with 50 years’ experience!), it’s a sounding board where there’s seldom a hurdle we can’t climb together.

This morning, I shared insights on untapped revenue streams for businesses – like the Smart Export Guarantee, where companies can sell surplus renewable energy back to the national grid, creating an additional income stream while supporting a sustainable future.

💡 Imagine generating income just by being greener.

Curious about how your business could benefit from renewable incentives and smart revenue streams? Happy to share insights. 🌱⚡

ARE BUSINESS ENERGY COSTS LIKELY TO REDUCE OVER THE COMING 12M?🤔

1. Current market context (mid-2025)
✅ Natural gas prices (the core driver of power prices) are currently stable but elevated compared to pre-2021 levels due to:

Ongoing global LNG market tightness.

European storage refill demand.

Potential geopolitical risks (e.g. Russian flows, Middle East tensions).

2. Downward price drivers (potential reductions)
✔ High European storage levels after mild winters, reducing urgent buying.
✔ Stable LNG supply growth (new Qatar and US projects ramping up end-2025 into 2026).
✔ Continued demand destruction in heavy industry if recessionary trends persist.
✔ Falling carbon prices if industrial activity remains subdued.

3. Upward price risks (preventing reductions)
✖ Geopolitical shocks (pipeline disruptions, further Middle East escalations).
✖ Asian LNG demand rebound (China and emerging Asia competing for cargoes).
✖ Weather volatility – colder winters or hot summers increasing heating/cooling demand.
✖ Slow renewable deployment or intermittency pushing power generators back to gas.

4. Market forecasts (current consensus)
Forward curves for UK gas and power suggest slightly lower prices by mid-2026 compared to today, but not a return to pre-crisis (2020) price levels.

Analysts see prices drifting down modestly as global LNG supply expands, unless geopolitical risks materialise.

5. Practical outlook for business energy prices
🔹 Small reductions possible over the next 12 months, but:

Prices will likely remain above historical averages.

Volatility remains high, so any significant downside will depend on mild weather + strong LNG supply growth + stable geopolitics.

🔑 Bottom line
✔ Expect modest price softening, not a significant fall.
✔ Prices are more likely to stabilise at a “new normal” premium over pre-2021 levels.
✔ Consider locking portions of future contracts if market dips align with your budget triggers.
✔ Maintain hedging flexibility to manage upside risks.

NOTE** You should be looking to renew your energy contracts during the DIP IN RATES brought on bywarmer summer weather and remember, we can renew your contract well in advance of your current contract end date, thereby enabling you to secure the more attractive summer rates NOW!
And, don't worry about the switch, we manage a seamless move to your new contract

No paid ads.
No fancy website.

*Warning*: Beware of unscrupulous energy brokers. In one case presented to me today by a convenience store owner who couldn't understand why our quotes were a lot lower than quotes received from other brokers.
It didn't take me long to discover that one broker had sent the retailer a quote, but failed to disclose in that quote how much commission he was earning from the transaction.
It was only when checking over the customers contract did I point out that the broker would ve earning £2,565.42 commission!

UNSCRUPULOUS, UNETHICAL, AND WRONG!

Your business deserves a trusted partner, so
