Where will responsibility be assigned?

The response to the long indicated energy price crisis is currently stalled, due to the on going Conservative party leadership contest. This provides interesting pressure into thinking as the metrics informing it, will be public prior to a government response.

The UK energy market is broken.

While consumer opinions regarding this are clear business with differing interests may be happy with the current situation. The consolidation of the energy sector is clear, the question is does consolidation result in a single nationalised entity!

As a consequence of the Covid furlough scheme is interesting to note that significant public intervention outside of the purview of conservative neo-liberal ideology has already been indicated and may yet expanded further. Tenth person planning should plan for disruption in gas supply as one presumes that prioritisation will be national electricity generation. Business planning attention should be focused on the percentage of the minimum wage income that energy costs are allowed to be set to. Maybe a significant increase in the standing charge will be more potent than an interest rate rise?

Tenth Person

The potential energy price shock should be imagined as an actual energy shock. In the short term opinions on the regulators structuring of consumer could be considered as indicative as too priorities. A significant increase in the standing charge is perhaps as potent as an interest rate rise.

Future Imagining

This could be the impetus for significant structural change within the UK. Future imagining in the space should include abundant energy provision unless structural injustices are envisioned to be entrenched. This is undeniably a failure of the energy sector, imagining in the space is primarily assigning responsibility for this failure.

I'm ready to future-ready my business!
