Are you wondering why gas and electricity prices are rising and what the future holds?
To discover more, we’ve been catching up with Professor Jonathan Stern, Distinguished Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies.
Jonathan is a specialist in natural gas issues worldwide, an author, an honorary professor at the Centre for Energy, Petroleum & Mineral Law & Policy, University of Dundee, and visiting professor at the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London. He is also a fellow of the Energy Delta Institute, a Distinguished Research Fellow of the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan, and a member of the EU–Russia Gas Advisory Council.
In this interview we talk about what’s causing the current price rises, whether it’s a blip and what it means for renewables.

Exciting news alert! We’re proud to share that last week, we won Contractor of the Year at the prestigious EVIES, for the second year running.
The Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards recognise the very best in the EV industry, and we’re honoured to take home the title again this year.
Some highlights…
2021 has seen a number of highlights, including our Public Sector EV team delivering 300 fast and rapid charger installations for 30 public sector bodies. We’ve installed over 1,000 lamp post EV chargers, introduced our own-brand lamp post chargers too and our residential EV team has been scaling up installations. We’ve also installed 50 V2G chargers as part of a trial by Electric Nation. We’ve had some great feedback from our customers as well, which has been brilliant to receive.
Our project with Dorset Council – a fully-funded EV Infrastructure project bringing charge points to public car parks across the county, as well as rapid replacement and new install – was also shortlisted for Infrastructure Project of the Year.
The stuff of dreams
Our Commercial Director and Co-founder, Joe Michaels, said:
“What an honour to win Contractor of the Year at the EVIES for the second year in a row – definitely the stuff of dreams. This year we’ve seen another year of very strong growth, helping us to lead the charge.
All credit goes to our hardworking team – their dedication, commitment, and passion for helping public sector and commercial organisations achieve their net zero carbon ambitions, and to make sure as many people as possible have the necessary infrastructure to go electric. We want to say a huge thank you to our clients, customers and partners”.
Head of Delivery (EV Charging), Graeme Patton, also commented:
“We’re so proud to win Contractor of the Year for the second year running. We’re always looking for ways to continuously improve and lead, and our teams work so hard to do that day in, day out. It’s brilliant to be recognised as the culmination of all our efforts”.
If you’re thinking of making the switch to an electric vehicle, or if you’re a public sector or commercial organisation working towards net zero, do get in touch with us – or explore our website to find out more about our approach.
