As we approach the end of the financial year, the energy market is presenting a timely opportunity for savvy businesses to secure competitive electricity rates.
Spot prices in May 2025 increased from April, which is a typical seasonal shift as we move into cooler months and heating demand picks up. However, compared to May 2024, prices are actually lower — a sign that underlying market conditions remain relatively stable for now. At the same time, forward market prices (futures) have softened, suggesting retailers are still pricing in some optimism for the months ahead.
But this window may not stay open for long. Winter volatility is a known risk, with cold snaps, supply disruptions or network outages often causing sudden price spikes. Regulatory changes and tariff adjustments also tend to roll out around mid-year, adding further cost pressures for many energy users.
If your electricity contract expires any time in the next 18 months, now is a smart time to start testing the market. Waiting could leave your business exposed to less favourable market conditions, particularly if volatility returns.
