Ibec calls for access to subsidies 'to reflect scale' of energy crisis

Business group Ibec has warned the Government will have to provide easier access to subsidies "to reflect the scale of the crisis" as as firms struggle to paysoaring energy bills. 

Businesses are braced for more energy hikes next year even after their gas and electricity bills climbed this year by 90% and 60%, respectively, according to a survey conducted by the business group.
