They did it! ⛰️⛰️

A huge congratulations to the team for completing its Two Peaks One Day challenge in support of Tommy's .

We knew it was going to be tough, but the reality proved far more challenging than anyone expected. The weather, terrain and tiredness pushed the team to the limit, with everyone having to fight and overcome their own personal battles at different points along the way.

But they kept going, supported each other and made it to the finish together.

It was an incredible achievement and an experience we’re sure they'll never forget. Even better, the challenge has helped raise more than £1,500 for Tommy's!

A massive thank you to everyone who donated, shared our fundraising and supported along the way.

And, of course, a huge well done to the team. We're so proud of them ❤️

"We rest assured knowing that we're being taken care of by the team at Clear, so that we can take care of our residents."

With more than 150 sites and over 40 million kWh of energy usage, managing energy for Runwood Homes Senior Living and Sanders Senior Living is about much more than securing competitive tariffs.

Our team reviewed supply capacity across their portfolio, identifying more than £30,000 in additional annual savings beyond the savings already achieved through their energy contracts.

We've also helped consolidate contract dates, simplify billing and manage supplier queries on their behalf, reducing the time and administrative burden on their team.

The training is done. It’s time for the real thing!

Members of the Clear Utility Solutions team will be taking on a 2 Peaks 1 Day challenge this weekend, raising money for Tommy's and the incredible work they do supporting families and funding research into pregnancy and baby loss. We’re hugely grateful to everyone who has donated and supported us along the way.

There’s still time to help us push our fundraising total a little higher before we set off. Every donation, big or small, will make a difference.

Thank you for your support, and wish us luck!

"Without your support, we would almost certainly have accepted the supplier's figures."

When TJH Nunneley received an unexpected electricity bill for almost £140,000, they came to us to understand whether the amount they were being asked to pay was correct.

Our team carried out a detailed audit of the account, uncovering years of ignored meter readings, estimated billing and prolonged out-of-contract rates.
We challenged the supplier, managed the dispute from start to finish and ultimately secured more than £76,000 worth of corrections, reducing the original demand by almost 55%.

It’s a powerful example of why choosing the right energy partner is about much more than finding a competitive contract.

Another great set of results from our Clear Council programme.

Working alongside Avon Local Councils Association (ALCA), we've supported 61 council sites across the region, delivering:

✅ £20,679.13 in public money saved
✅ 141,800 kg CO₂ emissions prevented

Helping councils make better-informed decisions around their utilities isn't just about reducing costs today, it's about creating long-term value for the communities they support.

June saw wholesale energy markets remain relatively stable, despite continued uncertainty in the Middle East. Both gas and power prices eased through the month, although lower-than-average European gas storage means the market remains vulnerable heading into winter.

Meanwhile, the UK's energy system offered a glimpse of the future, with negative electricity prices returning during periods of strong renewable generation, before a late-month heatwave briefly pushed wholesale prices to their highest level of the year.

In this month's Snapshot, we cover:

✅ Why wholesale gas and power prices softened during June
✅ What Europe's gas storage levels could mean for winter pricing
✅ Why the UK experienced negative electricity prices again
✅ How the June heatwave briefly sent wholesale prices soaring

The weather forecast isn't the only thing worth checking this week.

With temperatures staying high, we know many businesses will see electricity use increase over the coming days.

A quick sense-check can help keep costs under control:

✅ Air conditioning schedules: Is your A/C only running during occupied hours, or cooling empty spaces?
✅ Cooling equipment maintenance: Clean filters and well-maintained equipment use less energy and cool more effectively.
✅ Blinds and shading: Keeping south-facing windows shaded during the hottest part of the day can reduce cooling demand significantly.

The weather may be out of your hands, but how your building responds to it isn't!

We’re proud to share another success story from our Clear Council scheme — here are the latest figures from our partnership with GALC

Through the programme, we’ve supported 43 council sites across Gloucestershire, helping deliver:

✅ £24,466.03 in public money saved
✅ 114,012 kg CO₂ emissions prevented

For local councils, we know every pound matters, so supporting organisations with clearer utility management and long-term cost control can make a meaningful difference over time.

In September, the Clear Utility Solutions team will be taking on a new challenge: climbing two peaks in a single day to raise money for Tommy's, the pregnancy and baby charity.

Tommy's funds vital research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, while providing support and information to families during some of life's most difficult moments.

As a team, we wanted to challenge ourselves while supporting a cause that’s close to our heart and makes a genuine difference to so many people.

If you'd like to support the challenge and Tommy's incredible work, any donation, large or small, would be hugely appreciated.

May brought some welcome relief to wholesale energy markets, with gas prices continuing to soften and winter 2026 contracts showing some of the biggest reductions seen in recent months.

However, while the overall picture has improved, prices remain heavily influenced by geopolitical events, European gas storage levels, and ongoing uncertainty in global energy markets.

In this month's Snapshot, we cover:

✅ Why wholesale gas prices have fallen by around 15% since March
✅ The impact of low wind generation on UK power prices
✅ What the latest domestic price cap increase tells us about the market
✅ How home battery adoption could help reshape future energy costs
