Northern Ireland's energy regulator has warned that households will face further gas prices rises in the coming weeks.The price of gas on global markets has surged in the last two months.

"We are looking unfortunately at the moment, if we do the calculations today, you are looking at increases in gas at around 30% from 1 October." Suppliers can announce price increases as and when they need to, as long as it is approved by the regulator, who scrutinises their costs. A Treasury spokesperson said: "We are absolutely committed to bringing an equivalent to the £400 energy bills discount to Northern Ireland and have just announced a new joint taskforce to find a solution quickly.

Think maybe we need to remove this so called regulator...don't think he has grasped the concept....he regulates..not facilitate rip off prices

We're all being collectively played. This is intentional and controlled. As you'll see in this article there is absolutely no justification for this except to push us into poverty. If you fell for the covid scam it's time to open your eyes.

williamcrawley Any chance the energy regulator can say no to these energy companies?

That's a great fucking regulator there.

WHY THE FUCK IS THE REGULATOR NOT DOING ANY FUCKING REGULATING?

Gas prices rising along with there Billions of profits they are getting in making households poorer and the higher ups get millions. These companies mades billions since this started.

This is an absolute joke. They've gone up nearly 400% in the last 20 months. What on earth are people expected to do to pay their bills?

And as usual the layabouts will get handed money on a plate whilst the hard workers who believe it or not struggle just the same get squat !
