EDF Energy

Household energy bills are forecast to surge by 27% from January, leaving consumers facing the highest domestic gas prices yet.

According to an EDF forecast, Ofgem's energy price cap is to rise to £2,192 a year.

The US-Iran conflict has pushed the wholesale gas price to a fresh four-year high.

The artificial intelligence giant Anthropic has filed papers to sell shares to the public for the first time.

yeah.

EDF Energy.

And the location we was working, it wasn't apparent that it was a storm.

When we was driving home, I was driving the vehicle and there was these big old trees across the road and it was impassable.

So doesn't it make more sense for the state to own that? Let me give you a quick example.

Our recent nuclear power stations that are being built, the most expensive in the world, by the way, are actually... being built by EDF Energy and that is a state-owned business that's returning profits to the French state.

So why wouldn't the British government do that? Why wouldn't the British government own those entities and return the profit to the British people? The point I'm making is that I'm not just completely against all state spending, I'm against unproductive state spending.

I actually think it's a good thing for the state to spend on investments that are productive.

He is the founder of Amselina, a consulting firm working with senior leaders to uncover and repurpose the lost potential within their organizations.

He has a background as an engineer in various sectors and with big organizations such as the Institute of Cancer Research, the RNLI, the NHS, EDF Energy, Rolls-Royce, IBM, and Apple.

Quite a background there, James.

Thank you for joining me.

We've played three times.

One win, which was an 11-5 victory in Coventry in that EDF Energy semi-final in 2009, which we all remember the final against Gloucester.

I don't think that semi-final 11-5 quite gets the same publicisation.

I didn't even know it was in

You know, we've written lots and lots about the impacts of that to inflation and other things that, you know, we've been in these cycles of inflation because of geopolitical shocks for at least the last six years now and probably a bit longer.

And we've still got probably, I think it was the head of EDF Energy talking about well prices aren't really going to settle in energy until about 2030 so you know we've still got a long time this is a long cycle uh of where more things can go wrong yes So we're still in a kind of interesting sort of transitionary period over a lot of things, which, you know, again, I think is what a lot of our top 10 risks are kind of bringing out.

It's like the transition is happening.

A lot of our top 10 focus on what that transition actually means, I think.

British Gas and Utilita- Utilita, 79.

EDF and Scottish Power, 78.

OVO is the lowest on 75.

Now, let's be fair to everyone here.

But equally, you should always check with an individual tariff.

So normally, the portable tariffs, British Gas, EDF, E.ON, Next, Fuse Energy, Octopus, Ecotricity, Utility Warehouse.

The non-portable, but no early exit penalties if you move house, Outfox, OVO, Scottish Power, Sainsbury's Energy.

So if you want to go onto a comparison site and find your cheapest and you want a portable one, then you're probably looking for British Gas, EDF, E.ON, Next, Fuse Energy, Octopus, Ecotricity, or Utility Warehouse.

And that's what I would be looking at if you wanted to lock in a cheap fix right now because you're paying your bill right now, aren't you?

Yes, sir.

Also gave me a lot of time to meet people and go to conferences.

I was involved in a lot of these European workshops, you know, with EDF Energy, with France, with Airbus, with DLR.

It was a great experience.

And Alistair Revel, who was my super at the time, I owe a lot, who sort of showed me that world.
