ESB under fire for ‘miserly’ €7.66 cut

ELECTRICITY supply giant ESB last night came under fire for announcing a “miserly” drop of €7.66 in household bills.

Yesterday, the Government’s energy regulator said that bills for the ESB’s 1.9 million domestic customers would fall by 5.4% from November 1.

The cut will see the average two-monthly bill drop from €141.88 to €134.22 — a fall of €7.66 per bill or €46.02 annually.
