Rising tensions in the Middle East and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz are once again highlighting how global events can drive energy market volatility. Discover why UK businesses are increasingly focusing on energy reduction, on-site renewables and storage to take control of their energy supply and build long-term resilience.

Changes from April mean UK businesses may now be able to reduce their Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) and lower electricity capacity charges. For energy-intensive sites, this could unlock significant structural cost savings.

Energy Oasis welcomed Rishi Sunak MP to Northallerton in January to showcase energy efficiency improvements delivered for long-standing clients JT Atkinson and Yorwaste, highlighting how well-managed energy strategies can reduce costs and carbon for UK businesses.

Commercial solar panel prices are set to rise by up to 20% in 2026. Learn what’s driving the increase and why now may be the most financially attractive time for UK businesses to invest in solar PV.

2025 was a record year for wind and solar, but gas still dominates. We break down what the data really says about Net Zero and the role of solar.

Energy Oasis is pleased to announce the acquisition of a long-established Northern Ireland electrical contracting firm, marking a major step in the company’s growth. This strategic move establishes a permanent operational base and a dedicated installation team in Northern Ireland and enables Energy Oasis to deliver fully in-house energy projects for the first time.

Wind hit record highs and coal hit zero in 2025 – but gas still powers nearly a third of UK electricity. We break down the UK’s energy mix and what comes next.

What does the Labour Budget really mean for UK energy bills in 2026? A clear breakdown of EV taxes, grid costs and how businesses can cut rising energy spend.

On Tuesday 25th November 2025, we were proud to attend the official opening of our recently completed 2 MW Ground-Mounted Solar PV Scheme on one of Enovert’s restored former landfill sites in Gloucester. Energy Oasis delivered this project in partnership with Enovert and Harvest Green Developments.

Yorkshire farms are becoming local power stations. Learn how solar, battery storage and community energy models can cut bills and power local communities.

Yorkshire holiday parks are turning sunlight into profit. Cut energy bills, boost sustainability, and attract eco-minded guests with solar & battery upgrades.

You’ve got solar panels, battery storage, EV chargers, but your DNO says, “Not Yet.” Welcome to gridlock.

Rising standing charges, longer lighting hours and increased heating demand all combine into a seasonal surge that quietly eats into margins. Yet, with the right lighting and controls strategy, it’s possible to reverse those trends before the bills bite.

Yorkshire may be quietly powering large parts of the UK, and yet few business leaders here realise the strategic advantage this gives local firms. As the grid transforms and regional generation scales up, Yorkshire stands not just as a consumer, but as a potential energy exporter. The question now is how many Yorkshire businesses will ride that wave, and how many will see it flow past, with value lost to distant markets?

Across the UK’s logistics and transport sector, from Yorkshire distribution depots to national haulage fleets, energy costs are becoming an invisible drain on profitability. Rising wholesale prices, expanding depot lighting loads, and the electrification of vehicle fleets all push overheads higher. Yet many operators don’t realise how much is lost to poor procurement, complex metering, and outdated energy contracts.

Across Yorkshire’s hotel and leisure sector, energy costs have quietly become one of the most unpredictable overheads. Rising tariffs, higher standing charges, and greater seasonal demand all weigh heavily on operating budgets, particularly for venues with kitchens, heating, and 24/7 guest services.

As the National Farmers’ Union recently warned, rising energy bills and higher standing charges are placing intense pressure on farming businesses, especially operations that draw power seasonally (such as grain drying, refrigeration or processing) yet still pay standing charges year-round.

As daylight hours shrink and energy prices begin to bite again, many Yorkshire manufacturers are eyeing the wave of regional low-carbon grants. Yet one common stumbling block derails many applications: without a professionally designed lighting audit and quantified energy plan, funding assessors often reject LED upgrade proposals before they’re even considered.

Renewables have overtaken coal as the world’s biggest power source. Discover how UK businesses can cut costs and carbon with renewable energy strategies from Energy Oasis.
