British Gas is the largest retail electricity supplier in Great Britain. Despite a notable decline throughout the years, it still accounted for ** percent of the market as of December 2024. E.ON followed closely, with a market share of ** percent.  Changes in the Big Six  The electricity market in Great Britain has historically been controlled by a few providers, collectively known as the Big Six. These include British Gas, E.ON, SSE, EDF, Npower, and Scottish Power. However, recently, there have been significant changes in their composition. In January 2020, OVO Energy acquired SSE's electricity and gas distribution business, albeit continuing to sell energy under the SSE brand. Meanwhile, Npower was acquired by E.ON in 2019, turning the Big Six into a de-facto Big Five.  Growing competition in the British electricity supply market  In 2010, the Big Six held *** percent of the domestic electricity supply market in GB. To promote a more competitive market, the British energy regulator, Ofgem, enacted a series of market reforms aimed at increasing access for smaller players. The past decade has seen a significant number of domestic customers switching from large electricity suppliers to small and mid-tier suppliers, causing the Big Six’s market share to dip to ** percent in 2024.

In 2024, EDF was the leading company in the wholesale electricity generation market in Great Britain (GB), with a share of ** percent. The UK branch of the German company RWE ranked second that year, with a market share of approximately ** percent.

To achieve ambitious United Kingdom decarbonization targets, consumers will need to engage with energy services more so than they have done to date. This engagement could be active or delegated, where in the latter consumers pass responsibility for engagement to a third party in return for ceding some control over decisions. To date, insight into the barriers to consumer adoption of future business models has been limited. To address this gap this study explored benefits, risks and enabling conditions using two extreme consumer-centric business models, third Party Control and Shared Economy. The approach yielded information from stakeholders on what would have to be true for one of the business models to dominate the market. The results show substantial agreement across the expert groups on five key issues that will need to be addressed in the near-term to enable energy business model innovation in the United Kingdom market. These are: 1) Create space to enable business model innovation; 2) Ensure smart devices and data are interoperable and secure; 3) Improve the service standards of energy businesses; 4) Ensure business models work for consumers in all situations; and 5) Implement targeted carbon regulation.

This dataset represents a second wave follow-up survey carried out in 2014, investigating the minimum required saving necessary for an individual to be willing to switch energy supplier, along with the factors determining this minimum required saving for a household to switch energy supplier. The data forms part of a larger collection of individual-level data resulting from a collective energy supplier switching exercise (initiated by the 38 Degrees organisation) known as 'The Big Switch', in the UK residential energy market (2012); and two waves of internet based follow-up surveys (2013 and 2014). The data from the collective switching exercise relates to around 111,000 participants who had to decide as part of The Big Switch whether or not to switch energy suppliers in spring 2012. Uniquely, the project team observed the offers made to those who did not switch as well as to those who did switch. In addition to this commercial data obtained from Which? Limited, two waves of follow-up surveys were carried out whereby subsets of participants in the collective switching exercise were emailed a questionnaire to complete. Around 15,000 people completed the questionnaire in the first survey wave in spring 2013. The purpose of this first survey wave was to collect extensive information on household characteristics, engagement with the energy market and context surrounding individuals' switching decision in 'The Big Switch', with individuals who had one or two existing energy suppliers. The aim was to combine data from this survey wave with information from 'The Big Switch' itself to allow the investigation of the determinants of supplier switching in the UK energy market. Around 11,000 people completed the questionnaire in the second survey wave in spring 2014. The purpose of this second survey wave was to investigate the minimum required saving necessary for an individual to be willing to switch energy supplier along with the factors determining this minimum required saving. In total, 11,065 people provided full responses to the wave 2 survey, of whom 5,478 had also completed the Wave 1 survey.

The online follow-up survey was sent to a sample of participants of The Big Switch exercise in 2012. Complete records of energy bill details and the offer a person received as part of The Big Switch were obtained for 146,659 people. This group was then split into two equally sized sets, each being approached about taking part in different follow-up surveys. 15,360 people provided complete responses to the first follow-up survey in Spring 2013. These figures relate to individuals who had one or two existing energy suppliers. The focus of the 2013 follow-up survey was to elicit information on factors which might affect the probability of an individual switching energy supplier. The second follow-up survey conducted in early 2014 (referred to as Wave 2) investigated the factors that determine the size of the saving required for a household to switch energy supplier. Respondents were asked to consider the hypothetical annual saving required to switch, under the assumption that the new supplier was identical to their existing supplier other than for the monetary saving. The saving stated therefore represents the amount required to compensate the respondent for the ‘hassle’ associated with switching. In total, 11,065 people provided full responses to the Wave 2 survey, of whom 5,478 had also completed the Wave 1 survey.

Revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.1% over the five years through 2025 to €291.2 billion. Electrical contractors serve the construction sector, so procyclical commercial and residential construction trends influence revenue prospects. Hence, economic uncertainty associated with rampant inflationary pressures and reduced budgets has caused year-on-year revenue volatility for the Electricians industry. Weak economic conditions have restricted the number of new projects coming to fruition, hindering the number of big-ticket tender opportunities available for electricians to bid for and obtain. Businesses have remained cautious amid an uncertain economic outlook, opting to preserve cash and postpone or cancel significant construction projects. Over the two years through 2024, inflationary pressures have persisted and retaliatory increases to the base rate have ballooned the cost of borrowing. Despite public funding and support for new residential properties, a cooling housing market has limited demand from property developers. In 2024, as inflation began to ease, central banks responded by lowering interest rates to support economic growth. This move has encouraged property and commercial building investors to initiate construction and renovation projects, thereby boosting opportunities for electricians to bid for new contracts. Despite ongoing economic uncertainties that continue to challenge revenue prospects, the push for net-zero emissions has significantly bolstered demand for energy-efficient electrical systems. This shift is diversifying and enhancing the demand for new electrical installations. Revenue is expected to climb by 1.2% in 2025. As inflationary pressures subside and business and consumer sentiment rebound, revenue prospects will grow and more large tender opportunities will come to fruition. Businesses will increase spending budgets in line with recovering economic conditions and recovering house prices will spur new opportunities in the residential market, contributing to a recovery in income. Ongoing efforts to achieve carbon neutrality will continue to drive innovation in the industry and prompt electricians to upskill to ensure they can delivery energy-efficient electrical solutions to clients. Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 5.3% over the five years through 2030 to €377.6 billion.
