• The need to focus on security of supply
• LNG, a saviour to supplies in 2022, but at what cost and what issues need to be considered for 2023?
• The environmental impact of the dash for coal in Europe
• Weather provides further relief for winter, but will investment in strategic storage push up prices?
• Energy remains a strategic procurement to manage risk and ensure appropriate governance
• Support for business from government in 2023
