Electricity futures prices
The price of electricity for coming months and years as it is bought and sold right now on the derivatives exchange. These are the market's current view — not a forecast of what electricity will end up costing.
Exchange prices are VAT-free, as this is trading between companies. On this page 25.5% VAT has been added so the figures are comparable with the other prices on the site. The figure is energy only: the seller's margin, transfer and electricity tax come on top.
Months
For a finished month the figure is not an expectation but what electricity actually cost. The running month is still a market price, because it has not ended.
Quarters
Years
This is the row to hold a fixed-price offer against. A fixed price is usually above it — the seller takes on the risk of prices rising.

Energy only, for the period a contract signed now would cover. A fixed offer is usually above this: the seller takes on the risk of prices rising. The standing charge, transfer and electricity tax come on top.
Has the market been right?
