OEM's flagship fund sustains its strong performance for Summer 22 despite volatile markets

The Summer 22 trading season closed on 31st March and the Open
Performance Fund prices continue to stand out against the rest of the
market - for the Summer 22 period OEM’s fund has outperformed the
market averages for both gas and electricity
and fund members paid 64.6% less than the market average for electricity, and 71.4% less than the market average for gas.

With a plethora of factors affecting current energy markets it has been an
uncertain and turbulent time for businesses navigating how to approach their
energy contracts.

It has been well documented that gas and electricity prices have been rising steadily since late spring 2020, with the increase accelerating over the past nine months. Summer 22 gas spiked at 510.33 pence per therm (ppt) in early March and expired at 289.08 ppt. UK base load traded to a high of £382.96/MWh and expired at 246.47/MWh. As prices continue to rise there is much uncertainty for businesses around how to approach their next energy contract.
