The GMG Energy Club has some great news! Not only are we experts at procuring and managing golf clubs’ energy needs, but we now have also expanded the buying group to include other sports clubs. This increases our buying power with suppliers, driving the Energy Club member’s costs down. We now have relationships with the LTA, RFU and National Gymnastic Governing Bodies. This gives your clubs to buy together with potentially thousands of clubs, making the GMG Energy Club the go to buying group for all your energy procurement needs.

The UK energy market in recent times has gone through a lot of significant changes, both in price and targets. For golf clubs, who have high energy demands, understanding these changes is crucial to managing energy costs, improving sustainability, and adapting to future regulations.

In recent months, lots of clubs have been asking what is the best way forward for managing their energy contracts and consumption. 

Our advice is to secure your contracts as soon as possible, with many factors that could lead to a spike in the market. 

The UK produces approximately 40% of its electricity via LNG power stations. With European gas storage expected to be around 30% coming out of winter, there is a real worry there will be a shortage of gas. The UK only has enough gas storage for around 7 days of usage, therefore UK gas prices are heavily influenced by Europeans storage levels. This has led to gas prices for next summer unusually being higher than the subsequent winter, and this could cause a potential spike in energy prices.
This linked with the potential global political unrest, means to ensure budget security and keep costs down, securing your contracts now is our recommended solution.
We are also recommending longer term contracts, with the far out market showing signs of easing off, it is often cheaper to lock in for a 3 year period rather than 12 months. 

See below gas curve, showing higher prices expected throughout 2025 and into 2026. 

The UK has committed to become net-zero by 2050, and the general consensus is that there will be pressure on businesses to become net-zero making the governments job easier, with potential taxes/tax reductions being introduce to encourage people to do so.

At the GMG Energy Club we offer a wide array of energy reduction methods, these will not only help meet green targets, but also reduce the clubs consumption and therefore reducing energy bills. Whether your club is interested in a small or large investment, we offer a free consultation call to discuss the options going forward. These solutions range from LED, Solar PV to good practice advise. All we need is a recent energy invoice and we can advise on potential solutions that may be of interest.
