Are you struggling with the rising cost of energy? We want to hear your stories

Image: Shutterstock/Mentor Beqiri Image: Shutterstock/Mentor Beqiri THE RISING COST of energy has dominated the headlines in recent months, with continued price hikes by electricity and gas suppliers continuing to hit people in the pocket.

While the Government are likely to try ease the pressures placed on people, with an additional one-off energy credit set to be in September’s budget, further rises in energy are almost certain. “The one thing we know we can’t avoid is the price increases that are coming because of the war in Ukraine,” he told reporters this morning.These increases will also likely come into effect this winter, when utilities usage is at its peak demand during the darker and colder nights.

With all this in mind, The Journal wants to hear from people who are facing difficulties dealing with the rising cost of energy.We’ll share readers’ experiences in an article to run this weekend.
