SSE Airtricity has announced that it is to increase prices for its customers from 1 October, with electricity bills to rise by over 35%, and gas bills to increase by 39%.In a statement this lunchtime, the company said the war in Ukraine and"heightened geopolitical tensions" have resulted in what it described as"sustained and unprecedented increases in wholesale energy costs".
Dual fuel household bills will increase by 37% on average, which is equivalent to around €3.02 per day.Over the course of a year, the increase will add almost €600 to the average customer's electricity bill and over €500 a year to their gas bill. Managing Director Klair Neenan said they are"acutely aware" of the impact the move will have on households.

Ah yes their 75% increase in profits this year wasn't enough it seems
We have oil and gas waiting to be drilled but it's not allowed any more. Even though providence for the licence to do so.
Looks like the energy company's are going 'woke' now !!!! Sick of this 'woke' shite!!!!!
At what point do our elected representatives/ officials actually stand up for those of us circling the drain and intervene in shit like this. That said, given the general state of the country and their part in it, any intervention could make things worse.
Only a matter of time before people reach their limit. More, more, more. I hope to God it’s a mild winter
Ok tax any SSE profit/ shareholder dividends at 100% as it is a national emergency .
that's gas
Has the cost of wind increased
Will it be worth switching to another provider?
UN 2018
Well people will go somewhere else , why government can’t handle those , that do whatever they want and people will seriously stop putting heating on , it’s distrustful !!!
Where's the Regulator
Where is the energy regulator Up to a few years ago they effectively set the price, now for some reason this free for all of pice gouging is allowed to continue unchecked.. absolutely insane from a company whose CEO earns 4 million sterling a year.
Boris Johnson said the people will pay high price of energy for standing with Ukraine 🇺🇦. A war that should have not happened something that could have sorted out through peaceful negotiations. Why is people crying 😢 now.
So hold on a green sustainable energy group is increasing it’s prices and government want you to go green . What’s their overhead how much is wind and sun ?
🤨 How much longer can we tolerate this price-gouging racket of the energy sector? When will the incompetent Irish Government do something? Why are we all footing the bill of a crooked system? Irelands anti Irish Government FF, FG, Gs is a total disgrace
Disgraceful 😡😡😡surely the so called government can do something!!!!ordinary people being screwed to the wall😡😡😡
Wtf is up with this country we need to cop on
Do we have an energy regulator? I'd love to know what they do? These companies report massive profits yet ridiculous price increases keep getting approved 🙄
SSE Airtricity is a private company. They can charge what they like. And people can move elsewhere.
Slava Ukraine eh
Yep, wind prices have gone up recently! Going to have to shop around for something better.
GREED knows no limits, has no morals.
The natural order will see a mass exodus from airtricity.
Absolute disgrace!!
Parasites
The great con job by SSE and their 'green' energy, has the price of wind gone up?
This is fucking ridiculous at this stage, how mush more of this are we gonna take
Why doesn't the article mention profit of SSE announced earlier this year? €115m dividend paid to parent company. These increases aren't about covering cost, they're protecting profit.
Thieves!
Do they not state they use 100% renewables. So why would wind and sun be affected by Ukraine
I thought Airtricity used 100% renewable sources. What JUSTIFIES these increases? They are just plain gangsters.
This can't carry on. When are people going to take to the streets?
I thought airtricity electricity came from renewable sources or are they blaming the Russians for slower winds?
Great Reset in full flow. Price people out of any quality of life.
We need to produce more indigenous electricity. Solar,wind and wave. Get on with it NOW
Energy regulator..? They have never once intervened.
Generation green, 100% green energy...the war in Ukraine has made the wind more expensive it seems.
