IN A bid to break the stranglehold of the big six, independent energy supplier First Utility yesterday said it has secured a partnership with Shell Energy to get better deals from the wholesale market.
Under the new five to 10 year deal, energy giant Shell will act as an intermediary for First Utility, using its scale and expertise to competitively source wholesale electricity and gas.
First Utility has previously spoken about the difficulties competing with vertically integrated energy suppliers such as SSE and Centrica, who have both retail and generation businesses. While their retail divisions buy energy in the wholesale market, much of it has been produced by their own generating arms, which make much larger profit margins.
“Our agreement with Shell provides us with the ideal strategic partner to support our growth and underpin our proposition to offer customers competitive rates in the market,” said Ian McCaig, chief executive of First Utility.
Competitive energy prices have been a hot topic since Labour leader Ed Miliband said in September that he would freeze bills if elected. Since then, all of the big six firms have announced inflation-busting price hikes. Most have now said they will approximately halve the increases after the government vowed to shift some green levies away from bills and into general taxation in last week’s Autumn Statement.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
