Torse Ltd are pleased to announce the launch of the Autumn Briefing – a guide to whats happening in the business energy market along with useful links, interviews and the latest renewal rates which you can also see on our homepage. In the Autumn 2013 briefing we look at whether all the hype about power cuts and energy shortages really should concern us, we look at the froth surrounding the controversial ‘fracking’ that has been causing a stir in the news and also provide a few updates on Green Deal, biomass and a scheme to create effective mini-EMS for business by Nottingham Energy Partnership.

Our briefing is designed to keep you in the loop and we would like to hear your comments on our current and previous briefings as well as possible item for future items – please use our contact page to provide us with feedback.

Ofgem has asked us to point out that it does not employ interns from the big six energy suppliers, contrary to an assertion in a blog post published on the Torse website on 3rd July 2013 entitled “Energy Sector Retail Market Review- Avoiding the Issue”. The regulator said: ” The truth is that Ofgem does not use interns from the big six energy companies and certainly did not use any interned staff employed by the big six energy companies in formulating the RMR.”

Torse apologises for any confusion caused by the publication of the article.

So, as we head into Winter, Haven are announcing a whole new line of products that they are enthusiastically parading down the proverbial catwalk of the UK business energy marketplace.
