Philip Wright is Honorary Professor of Energy Policy and Economics at the University of Sheffield, Fellow of the UK's Energy Institute and a Senior Research Advisor at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. Over more than two decades his research, publications, consultancy, and teaching have covered all energy industries and the companies which operate in them. As well as contributing a critical perspective on the liberalisation of gas and electricity industries, his recent work has also addressed the UK's oil and gas fiscal regime. His views and expertise have been sought by governmental organisations, major international companies, trade unions, and universities in Europe and Latin America. His book, Gas Prices in the UK: Markets and Insecurity of Supply, also published by OUP, pioneered understanding of the UK's gas market.
