17) Challenges in the domestic propositions market with Anna Moss and Kate Hill

An energy market podcast from Cornwall Insight experts

In this podcast our Retail Manager, Anna Moss and Senior Analyst, Kate Hill defy the challenges of being in lockdown under Covid-19 with multi-locations and persistent cats, to discuss the domestic tariff landscape.

We’re currently in a time of great change and as a result we’ve seen some significant changes to the wholesale market and the oil price in response to Covid-19. We look at the effects this is having on tariff prices, but we also look more broadly across the market.

Our experts focus on three themes:
1. Supplier tariff offerings
2. Impact of wholesale prices
3. Regulatory intervention

Anna and Kate look at data from 28 February 2020 and highlight the ongoing trends in domestic propositions, including the tariff choice for different consumer types, regional variation, tariff types and pricing. Drawing on our Domestic Tariff Report service, they also explore how the wholesale prices are impacting the Default and Prepayment price caps and savings that can be made under the cap, and highlight potential impacts to prices if a price cap were to be removed. Stay tuned in to hear about the many different types of tariffs that go beyond the traditional tariff model.
