Electricity prices to fall — but gas bill hike likely

ELECTRICITY bills are set to fall — but the good news for householders has been tempered by the fact that Bord Gáis is looking for a price hike.

The re-branded ESB Electric Ireland will today announce a range of price plans that could chip almost €190 off average electricity and gas bills every year.

Customers can choose from electricity-only, gas-only or dual products as the company claims it is “very aware” of financial pressures on householders.
