After three years of extreme volatility in energy markets, commodities prices have broadly stabilized for the near term. Will energy markets remain stable between the historic lows seen during the pandemic and historic highs seen in 2022, or will we see more price volatility? Lower inflation, strong domestic energy production and the addition of low-cost renewables is helping to keep prices low. Adverse weather conditions, escalating geopolitical tensions, and soaring shipping costs are among risk factors to keep an eye on.

Energy prices climbed to a decade high last year but have moderated this spring. As we, once again, prepare for the warmer months ahead, we at Competitive Energy Services (CES) have been reflecting on the wild commodity price swings of the past 12 months and thinking about the factors that will impact markets in 2023 and beyond. We’re also pondering the macro trends that are likely to significantly reshape energy markets and how to plan for the inevitable change that’s on the energy horizon. Our free online energy market seminar, titled “Bridging the Future: Managing the Energy Commodity Transition," will be held on Wednesday, June 7 from Noon – 1:00 p.m. (including Q&A) and covers timely topics relevant to energy markets, to your business – and to your budget.
Inflation, worldwide geopolitical tensions, and the associated energy crisis are on everyone’s radar these days. The unfortunate reality is that New England could be severely impacted by this crisis in the form of record high winter energy prices.

This virtual seminar covered a variety of topics relevant to the New England energy markets:
Let's talk solar! Ever since the State Legislature passed L.D. 1711 in June of 2019, solar development in Maine has been a hot topic. Maine's legislature is weighing in on the future of the program while the industry's marketing and development efforts are in full swing. In the news, we had heard a lot about solar - confusion strewn by CMP for solar projects seeking to connect to the grid, anger and frustration from the renewable energy industry, and an investigation into CMP launched by the Maine Public Utilities Commission and Governor Janet Mills.
Get it while it's hot! Competitive Energy Services (CES) has been working with over 40 businesses and organizations to take advantage of the significant financial and environmental opportunities offered by solar development in Maine, and we want to share everything we've learned so far. In this webinar, we answered your questions and cover all the basics:
