Suppliers often purchase a customers gas contracts years in advance to secure prices and ensure they have the gas that a business requires. The suppliers then add a margin for their own services and a hedge to protect them from price changes.

Many factors affect the price of gas with the biggest one being the price of oil. Many long term contracts are linked to the price of oil which is why we’ve seen a drop in wholesale prices since November 2015. Supply and demand have a significant effect as well with the winter months being more demanding due to lighting and heating requirements.

The gas market in this country is the largest and most active trading point in Europe. British wholesale gas trading is conducted at the National Balancing Point (NBP) which is a virtual trading hub. The NBP is very active and gas is traded numerous times before it’s actually delivered to the customer.

Trades in our gas market are made on a number of different time periods including day-ahead, month-ahead and year-ahead. The national grid is responsible for the management of the gas system in Britain making sure the amount of gas bought and sold by traders is equal at the end of each trading day.
