Avoid Overpaying for Energy: What UK Manufacturers Must Get Right in 2026

Energy markets are volatile again - and many UK manufacturers are entering contracts that will lock in unnecessary cost and risk for years.

In 2026 alone:
⚡ Gas prices have jumped +56.9%
⚡ Power prices are up +18.0%

With prices shifting, regulation evolving, and procurement decisions becoming more complex, getting your next energy contract wrong could have a significant financial impact on your business.

This session is designed to give senior leaders clarity and control over one of their biggest operational costs. You will leave with a clearer understanding of:

• Where manufacturers are overpaying on energy contracts
• How third parties and brokers influence pricing (and what to challenge)
• What’s changing in the energy market — and what it means for your business
• How to approach your next contract with confidence in a volatile market

Why attend?

If your contract is renewing in the next 6–12 months, the decisions you make now will directly impact your cost base and risk exposure.

This session will help you make those decisions with greater confidence and control.

Who should attend?

Manufacturing leaders, finance and procurement teams, operations managers, and anyone responsible for energy matters.

Now is the time to review your energy strategy - before your next contract locks you in.
