Sky Blue Energy

Sky Blue Energy Partnership

We’re joining up with Coventry City Football Club to help fans score huge energy savings

We’re excited to be launching a brand new and exclusive Coventry-based energy deal, Sky Blue Energy, in partnership with Coventry City Football Club (CCFC).

Officially launching on Saturday 20 December at the famous Ricoh Arena, Sky Blue Energy will help CCFC fans dramatically reduce their gas and electricity bills, by benefitting from some of the most competitive rates in the market, while also giving back to their local community.

So as well as scoring huge savings on energy costs, loyal CCFC fans that take advantage of this opportunity, will also receive up to £30 of vouchers to spend at the CCFC Superstore at Gallagher Retail shopping park.

All vouchers spent at the Superstore will be invested into the CCFC Academy for young footballers.

The switching process couldn’t be easier, it’s all done online and we take care of everything for you.

Managing Director, Alan Dodd, said: “Sky Blue Energy is the perfect opportunity for us to show our support for our local community.

“Not only will football fans be able to access the most competitive energy rates in the market, but vouchers spent in our Superstore will go straight back into supporting the children and young adults that are part of the CCFC Academy.”

April Energy Report

Energy Market Update for April 2015

Our energy market update gives you insight into market trends for gas and power, and what to watch throughout the month.

Market Summary

 

Gas – A mixed month with prices slightly edging up
Power – The power market continued to mimic movements in the gas market

Direction of Market Price

Gas-Power

Gas
Strong LNG output and imports heightened by an appreciating pound against the euro continued to support gas prices down throughout March. Supply remained reasonably high despite a number of outages at Norwegian gas fields increasing demand.

Worryingly, a deal is yet to be reached between Russia & Ukraine which remains a concern, adding upwards pressure to the gas market.
More potential upside is coming from fears over Centrica’s Rough gas storage facility with a potential 30% capacity cut due to technical issues. However, the strong supply and lower oil prices due to the continued over supply has muted this impact.

April Gas Report

Power
The gas market continued to be the main driver behind the power market movement. The news that Rough gas storage might face capacity restrictions fed through to the power market and raised prices, however weak coal and oil prices reduced the impact.

At the beginning of the month milder temperatures and consistent wind speeds pushed up power production from renewables, pushed prices down. Mid-month saw cooler than forecasted temperatures increasing heating demand and the need for gas in power generation.

What to watch out for throughout March:

In May we should hear more on the financial situation in Greece. They are currently locked in talks with creditors as they are running the risk of running out of cash and are seeking fresh financial aid.

An update on the Rough Gas Storage capacity problems is expected shortly.
Talks between Russia & Ukraine continue with the EU next month on the pricing of Russian Gas deliveries.

Wallace FC

1st League Winners of 2015

Proud sponsors GET Solutions would like to congratulate the Wallace Football team for what has been a very successful season, and their battling spirit which saw them crowned Premier League 2 Champions – the first team across all Coventry & District Sunday Football Leagues!

The title was secured following an impressive 4-3 win over rivals New Tiger Moth who were sitting in fourth position. The closely contested match took place at the Copthorne 1 venue on Sunday 29th March and was very much going in favour of New Tiger Moth, until a late flurry from Wallace overpowered and saw off the visitors. The winning goal came from Ricky Cutting with less than 10 minutes to go and was his second of the day, and followed goals from team mates Dean Kimberlin and Adam Vallance.

Wallace FC have won 18 of the Premier 2 League’s 20 games, notching up an inspiring 82 goals with +55 goal difference, and securing them 54 points.
