Making Cents: Putting your energy into switching service providers will save you money

Switching energy providers is one of those tasks we know will save us money but which we still rarely do

It may have slipped by in the deluge of worrying news we face on a daily basis but consumers are looking at increases to their energy bills in the coming months. In addition to increased usage in the winter months, a number of suppliers have raised their rates and the PSO (Public Service Obligation) levy went up significantly at the start of the months 

The PSO is charged to all electricity customers in Ireland and supports the generation of electricity from sustainable and renewable sources. It was previously €2.84 a month (ex VAT), added up to €36.68 a year including VAT.
