"Bord Gáis Energy and Pinergy have joined Energia, Flogas and SSE Airtricity in raising its prices this year. Electric Ireland is not increasing its electricity prices. Unit rates and standing charges are to rise for Bord Gáis Energy's 350,000 electricity customers from October 12, just days after the Budget. Unit rates will rise by 13.5pc, one of the highest increases seen in the market so far, adding €218 to the average annual bill. The standing charge is also going up."
"Pinergy is to hit its 28,000 customers with a rise of close to 10pc, from October 13. This will add €199 to the typical annual bill. Residential microgeneration payments, for those with solar panels, will also remain at 25c per kWh. Earlier this week Electric Ireland said it was cutting its gas prices and is leaving its electricity prices unchanged in a surprise move."
