Forecast Future Costs
Predict future GB network charges using rates published 12-18 months in advance. Compare current costs against future rates across all 14 DNO regions to budget accurately and advise clients on expected cost changes.
Your clients deserve better than 'last year plus inflation'
Most businesses forecast network charges by looking at last year's bills and adding a percentage. But DNOs publish next year's rates months in advance. When you can show clients exactly what's coming, you're not just forecasting - you're demonstrating expertise.

“How far in advance are rates available?”
DNOs publish rates 12-18 months ahead of each charging year (April to March). This means you can give clients accurate forecasts well before their budget cycles - we update our database as soon as rates are published.
