Electric Ireland to cut electricity and gas prices

  • Electric Ireland, the largest energy provider in the Irish market, has announced a 10% cut in domestic electricity prices and a 12% reduction in gas charges. These changes will benefit the company's 1.1 million customers, leading to significant savings on their annual bills.
  • The decision to cut prices comes after pressure from both political and consumer groups, urging energy suppliers to act on falling wholesale costs. Other energy providers, such as Energia and Pinergy, have also announced price reductions in recent weeks.
  • Despite these reductions, experts predict that the upcoming cuts for this winter will be modest due to the ongoing high wholesale prices. Ireland currently has the highest electricity prices in Europe, 80% above the average, and the fourth highest gas prices.
