Clarity in markets that rarely offer it.
Lumley Consulting advises suppliers, brokers and large buyers across the UK energy and water sectors. Our work sits where regulation, procurement strategy and commercial risk intersect - evidence-based, defensible, and built to be acted on.
Dolphin.
A trading-desk view of the markets you live in.
Live wholesale prices, mapped energy infrastructure, and real-time risk - combined into a single market intelligence product used by suppliers, brokers and large buyers across UK power, gas and water.
Dolphin is the market intelligence module of our Mola platform - and is available as a standalone subscription. The screens below are live views from the product.
A single product, many views - priced, mapped, monitored, explained.
Wholesale forwards across gas & power
Monthly, quarterly, seasonal and annual contracts - baseload and peak - in one live curve. Sparklines, day-on-day change and rolling highs built for desks that price renewals against the forward market every morning.
Cross-market pricing with an AI overview
Brent, TTF, Henry Hub, EU Carbon, gold, silver and FX - read alongside a natural-language market summary that explains what moved, and why. Bullish / bearish read, risk level, and plain-English drivers.
A morning market note, written for humans
Every session, an editorial brief on what moved and why - structured like a newspaper front page, not a data dump. Listen on the walk in, cite it in a board pack, forward it to a client. The house voice of Dolphin.
AI that reads the market for you - without ever seeing your clients.
Dolphin's AI Market Overview, natural-language briefings and scenario commentary all run through a pseudonymisation layer built into the platform. Before any prompt leaves Mola, customer names, supply points, MPANs, addresses and identifying metadata are stripped or substituted with synthetic tokens.
The model sees market data and structure, never your book. Responses are re-hydrated locally, inside Mola, for your team to read. No private data leaves the system - a design we can evidence, not just claim.
Dolphin is one module of Mola - our end-to-end operational platform for energy retailers, covering customer management, trading, hedging, quoting and billing. Most clients start with Dolphin and grow into the full system.

Preparing for Ofgem TPI regulation.
Ofgem is being appointed to regulate Third-Party Intermediaries in the retail energy market, including energy brokers and price comparison websites. The programme is expected to start from 2026 with a sunrise period to register and become authorised. After this, operating as a TPI without authorisation will be unlawful.
Lumley Consulting provides end-to-end Ofgem TPI Regulation readiness - gap assessment, audit-ready policies, compliant sales and onboarding, MI and reporting, disclosure of commissions, updated customer communications, complaints and redress, governance, fit-and-proper checks, training and ongoing monitoring.
