The world is at a turning point in terms of energy production and consumption. As we work towards meeting climate targets, the transition away from fossil fuels is becoming increasingly urgent and not just a question of “if” but now importantly also “when”. However, as we have seen with phasing out coal, the actual transition could drag on for years – certainly longer than we need for climate targets to be met.

With the rise of greenwashing, it’s getting harder to tell who’s truly committed to sustainability and who’s just trying to cash in on the trend. But what is greenwashing exactly?

Are you intrigued by the Energy Bills Discount Scheme (EBDS) that's been grabbing attention in the news but unsure of what it entails? Fear not, we've got you covered.

There’s a lot about the energy market that doesn't sit right with us. Why are so many intermediaries involved in energy transactions? Why, when renewable energy is a “free” resource, is it traded in the same way as fossil fuel commodities like oil, coal and gas? Why can't sellers and buyers know exactly where their energy is going to and coming from? Why do businesses only have one option (traditional utilities) when it comes to buying and selling energy? Why have we seen so much development in financial trading, whilst power trading remains largely unchanged for the last 30 years? Why do trading desks continue to make huge profits whilst volatile costs are passed through to end users?
