Recent events in Ukraine have caused everyone to gasp at their television screens in disbelief.

A ground war and invasion of this kind has not been seen in Europe since World War 2, but now that it’s happening, how will it impact the rest of the world?

Whilst we haven’t been touched by shelling, air raids and evacuation, the UK will surely feel the effects of Russia’s actions, in one way or another at some stage.

It may sound trivial in comparison, to consider the price and availability of energy, when Ukrainians are under attack in their own cities, but it’s an important consideration to make in the context of the rising cost of living.

As soon as the invasion was underway, the price of gas for next day delivery jumped 53% to 326p per therm (British Gas). The markets were spooked that sanctions on Russia would lead to global disruption of energy supplies.

And this may well turn out to be the case.

Even with the advancements in renewable energies, much of the UK’s energy supply is still imported from mainland Europe, whether that’s from Norway, in smaller amounts from Belgium and The Netherlands, or…

…you guessed it, from Russia (Nexus).

Price isn’t the only thing to think about here, and availability is arguably even more important, which is why at Energy Gain UK, we work across the manufacturing sector to enable our clients to become the masters of their own destiny when it comes to energy.
