10% of Bord Gáis users in arrears

ONE in 10 Bord Gáis customers are in arrears of €100 or more on their bills.

However, the number of customers in arrears of 60 days or more is down from 115,000 in May to 103,163 at the end of September.

There is also a €9 million bad debt provision in the energy company’s accounts for this year. This is to provide against losses from customers who leave Bord Gáis Energy to go to other suppliers without settling their bills.
