It’s only a matter of time before peak summer temperatures… MoreThere’s still some time before peak summer temperatures become the focal point of our weather trivia, with May coming to an end and June seeing the mercury soar, according to the Met Office. With this, power consumption is also set to increase, a problem that can only be worsened by power tariffs that are set to increase due to rising input prices and transportation costs. Because power producers bear the cost of expensive imported coal. And with coal a longer route to transport, electricity rates, which are already rising in many areas, are expected to rise even more in the coming year.
