Electric Ireland announces energy price increase from 1st October 2019

Electric Ireland has today announced that it will increase residential electricity prices by 8% from 1st October 2019. This is due primarily to increases in external network and market operation costs.

Clare McAllister, Residential Manager NI, Electric Ireland commented: “We very much value our customers and so the decision to change prices is not taken lightly.

“As ever, we are committed to keeping prices as low as possible and we would like to assure our customers that even when this price increase is applied, our prices will continue to offer great value for families.   

“In addition to making every effort to keep costs competitive, we are consistently investing in the local community. This, combined with a £10m investment in growing offices and staff, demonstrates our commitment to our Northern Ireland customers,” Clare added.

Electric Ireland is the 3rd largest supplier in the marketplace with more than 98,000 customers joining the company based on the great value and service we offer.
