Call for utilities to give households predictions on their energy bills this winter 'in plain English'
Household utility providers should provide "in plain English" predictions for when they expect energy bills to be heading higher or lower, based on the prices they are paying today on wholesale markets, the Consumers' Association of Ireland has said.
The call comes as wholesale prices for gas fell today from their peaks of recent weeks as weather forecasters predicted a warm December across Europe. Crude oil prices, which can also determine the price of electricity for households, have also steadied in recent days.
