Energy markets, real numbers, and what they mean for your business

At Rose Partner Solutions, we don't do guesswork. When clients ask about energy contracts, we show the market data behind every recommendation and explain what it means in plain terms.

This week’s wholesale market trends tell a clear story if you know how to read them.

Gas prices are soft, but that won’t last

Right now, there’s more pressure on gas prices to fall than rise. Two main reasons:

The US is rattling markets with interest rate uncertainty and trade tensions. That tends to cool investor confidence and suppress prices.

The EU is easing storage targets and moving towards shared gas purchasing. That means less country-by-country competition, which usually brings prices down.

But that doesn’t mean the market is safe. Asian buyers are holding back, raising questions about future demand and export capacity in the US. If supply growth stalls, prices could find support again. And if the EU extends long-term targets, demand will stay stronger for longer.

Power prices are being pulled both ways

Electricity markets are still tied to gas, but there’s more going on:

Weak gas pricing is dragging electricity rates down

Policy support for nuclear could push future supply up

Wind and hydro generation is falling off during hotter periods, which is starting to look like a trend

Higher temperatures are creating extra demand from cooling systems and putting pressure on nuclear plants that rely on rivers for water

what this means for our clients

We track all of this so you don’t have to. And we don’t just summarise the market. We translate it into actions.

Sometimes that means locking in early. Sometimes it means holding your nerve. Either way, the advice we give is always tied to real numbers, tailored to your situation, and built around your risk profile.

what we believe

Energy markets are messy, but your decisions shouldn’t be. We keep things simple, strategic and clear. Every recommendation we make is backed by data and designed to help you stay ahead of risk, cost and carbon.

That’s how we help businesses make decisions they can stand by.
