James Brabben Wholesale Manager spoke to Energy Live news about the gradual rise in energy demand back up towards 2019 levels since July . He attributed the rise in demand for a few reasons. This includes the relaxing of lockdown measures and businesses opening back up. As well as the warm weather spell causing higher demand for air conditioning and cooling.
Even if many employees choose to work from home, our modelling suggests that demand may be boosted further by workers not returning to office environments.
This is because lighting and heating used in households are typically far less efficient than in businesses.
