As we move through 2025, the UK energy market remains complex and dynamic, shaped by global events, net zero pressures, and regulatory reform. For commercial energy buyers; particularly those with high energy costs, this is a critical time to reassess energy strategies and take informed action.
Energy is no longer just a line item on a balance sheet. It is a strategic input that affects budget predictability, ESG performance, regulatory compliance, and shareholder confidence. Businesses that take a proactive, structured approach to energy buying in 2025 will gain a clear competitive advantage.
Here’s what businesses need to know about the energy landscape in 2025; and how Inteb can help you stay ahead.
Avoid pitfalls and rise stronger – prepare your business for the challenges and opportunities in the energy market 2025.
Thousands of commercial energy contracts are due to expire this year. If your business is one of them, the time to act is now. Waiting until the last minute can result in poor market timing, missed savings, and rushed decisions.
Too often, organisations delay contract reviews until the final 60–90 days before expiry. At that point, they’re reacting to the market rather than planning for it. With market prices shifting daily, and sometimes dramatically, this delay can lock in higher rates and reduce your negotiating leverage.
How to prepare:
How Inteb helps:
We work closely with clients ahead of contract end dates to provide clear market insight, accurate consumption analysis, and tailored procurement strategies that manage cost, risk, and compliance.
Whether fixed or flex, Inteb will navigate you through the procurement journey to make informed purchasing decisions; whether that means fixing ahead of renewal to take advantage of future consumption at today’s price point and/or backwardation, or buying flexibly in multiple transactions to spread risk and unlock greater buying opportunities.
For real estate clients; including investors, property managers, and FMs; our expertise extends to supporting accurate service charge budgeting. We ensure energy procurement aligns with the latest RICS professional standards for service charges, helping clients remain compliant while delivering transparency and value to occupiers.
Our approach empowers procurement teams and finance directors with a strategy; not just a rate.
Align your procurement and finance functions for smarter decision-making in the energy market 2025.
Although prices have calmed since the 2022–2023 crisis, volatility persists. Gas storage levels, global LNG demand, currency fluctuations, and climate events can all trigger sudden changes. Daily market movements are sharper than they’ve been in decades. Procurement managers cannot afford to ignore this reality.
Major suppliers are increasingly offering contracts 12–24 months ahead, giving buyers an opportunity to act on favourable pricing conditions if they’re watching the market. But if you’re not monitoring, you’re missing.
Inteb’s approach:
Our energy traders and analysts track market movements daily and provide timely advice to help clients make data-driven decisions. Whether you want to lock in pricing or explore flexible options, we help you choose the right path.
Coupled with technical analysis to complement and help the decision-making process, our team of experts are monitoring more than just price movements to try and garner excellent results for our clients.
We help you navigate the wholesale market like a trader; without requiring you to become one.
Real-time insights are essential for staying competitive in the energy market 2025.
2025 sees increasing scrutiny from regulators and stakeholders. ESOS Phase 3 & 4 enforcement, updates to SECR, and energy performance standards for buildings are all pushing businesses to act.
Failure to comply can lead to significant fines, reputational damage, and disruption to operations; especially for organisations in regulated sectors or with investor oversight.
Inteb’s approach:
We manage the end-to-end compliance process, helping clients meet deadlines, avoid penalties, and turn compliance into cost-saving opportunities.
We not only ensure compliance with schemes like ESOS, SECR, and MEES; we also look at how these frameworks intersect with procurement and sustainability strategies to maximise value across the board.
Get ahead of the energy market 2025 with a strategy built on insight, agility, and expert support.
Many organisations have declared net zero targets; but 2025 is about implementation, not intentions. Investors, boards, and customers expect to see measurable progress.
This includes tracking emissions, switching to renewable procurement, implementing on-site generation (like solar PV), and integrating energy strategy with Scope 2 reductions.
Inteb’s approach:
We develop realistic, phased carbon reduction strategies aligned to your operations. From audits to onsite generation, we support delivery, not just planning.
We bridge the gap between vision and execution, helping clients select appropriate procurement models, green tariffs, and long-term plans that align with ESG goals and investor expectations.
Visualising the trends, insights, and innovations shaping the energy market 2025 — from supply and demand dynamics to technology-driven forecasting.
With energy data more accessible than ever, businesses that make use of it are gaining the edge. Budgeting, forecasting, and performance management all depend on accurate, timely information.
Smart organisations use this data to benchmark performance, predict consumption trends, track anomalies, and validate their bills; avoiding overcharges and identifying savings.
Inteb’s approach:
Our bureau team delivers detailed consumption reports, identifies anomalies, validates bills, and builds dashboards to support operational and strategic decisions.
We translate data into decisions; so you can act, not just observe.
Exploring efficiency, resilience, and innovation in the energy market 2025 — from data-driven decision-making to sustainable energy management.
Reducing energy waste not only cuts emissions; it drives down operating costs and protects your business from future price shocks.
Energy efficiency is no longer just a sustainability issue; it’s a margin protection tool. Whether through LED upgrades, building management systems, or behavioural change, the returns are real and often immediate.
Inteb’s approach:
Our engineers conduct detailed site audits, identify practical savings, and implement smart, cost-effective efficiency projects that improve performance and sustainability.
By addressing both behavioural and technical inefficiencies, we future-proof energy performance and support resilience.
