What are wholesale prices?
Wholesale prices are the costs energy suppliers pay to buy gas and electricity from producers before selling it to you. These prices are influenced by global supply and demand, geopolitical events, and even the weather. When wholesale prices rise, it usually leads to higher bills for consumers.
