'Gas prices could be very very frightening' Telegraph.co.uk Nov 2008
The headlines can be very confusing for businesses and when it comes to contract renewal it can be difficult to know whether you are getting a fair market price for your gas contract. Many customers will find they will be paying considerably more for their gas due to the market volatility. What's behind the price volatility? There are a number of factors but the main ones are : Supplies of gas: supplies from the North Sea have declined faster than they were expected to, though there is still plenty to last for many years to come it comes at a more expensive rate. This means that the UK is much more dependent on business gas from Europe and is therefore influenced by this market Price of oil: the price peak in July 2008 was driven largely by increasing troubles in the middle east and increased demand from developing countries such as China however the recent global economic downturn has sent prices crashing and, with the price of gas in Europe still largely linked to oil this has had a knock-on effect on the price in the UK. Storage facilities: new import and storage capacity in the UK is not yet fully on-stream, and has therefore not been able to offset the impact of the above two factors. Why does it affect the price of business gas more quickly than the price we pay at home?Suppliers price each business utility contract individually based on prices on that day, whereas prices for domestic gas are hedged a long time in advance. Will prices stabalise?The trend of volatility looks set for the foreseeable future, spelling danger in terms of profit margins for businesses large and small.

Looking to Compare Business Gas Prices?
Not enough UK businesses take the time to compare Gas rates for their organisation, simply letting their contracts roll over from year to year without trying to find the cheapest Gas.
Yet the market has seen substantial improvements in recent years, and so there's never been a better time for a business of any size to compare Gas prices. Sometimes, gas savings can be up to 70% when you search for the best business gas prices.
If you thought it took ages to compare gas prices for your business, or that it was a hugely complex affair, think again. To make great gas savings, you just need to supply your business address and postcode, estimated consumption for the last quarter or year, and, preferably, your meter number.
When you compare gas rates, you'll be able to see a number of different tariffs, from standard options to 'green' rates, as you hunt for the cheapest gas. Especially for larger businesses, you can often negotiate fantastic gas savings. You can also often get better business gas prices for a fixed-period tariff of, perhaps, two years.
Additionally you can get extra discounts by paying with a monthly direct debit - usually you get an additional 2% to 4% off, and if you take both gas and electricity as a business dual fuel tariff, greater reductions are usually on offer, so ask about this when you compare gas rates.
