Increase will add almost €600 a year to the average customer’s electricity bill and over €500 a year to their gas billCustomers of SSE Airtricity face increases in prices for household gas and electricity of 35.4% and 39% respectively from October 1st . Photograph: Bryan O Brien/The Irish TimesSSE Airtricity is to significantly increase its standard household gas and electricity prices for the second time in just five months, the company announced on Friday.
When all these price increases are taken together, SSE customers will be paying over €1,000 more for their gas and €1,100 more for their electricity each year. Some of its calculations were released in mid-June in a paper which showed that energy poverty had risen to a record high of 29.4 per cent, and could rise as high as 43 per cent if prices rose again by 25 per cent.
“Is the temporary reduction in VAT being kept? Is another energy credit going to be paid? Is the Government going to place a windfall tax on energy companies, and if so, how would this even work when many are headquartered overseas?”
