In our latest Expert Interview, Hannah Sword sat down with Raghav Singh, Business Supply Director at EDF Business & Wholesale, to talk about whether the business energy market has reached a turning point.
The conversation explores:
- The electrification boom that hasn't landed: Why demand from EVs, heat pumps and industrial processes has grown more slowly than expected, and what could change that
- Who bears the cost of network investment: What happens to unit costs when system investment keeps growing but demand hasn't followed
- A proactive, ongoing supplier relationship: What it looks like when suppliers move beyond a standard supply contract to help customers manage flexibility, on-site generation and volatility

- How flexible financing models are removing the upfront cost barrier to clean technology
