Airtricity fuels price war with 20% discount

SSE Airtricity has fired the latest shots in a price war among domestic energy providers by unveiling a 20% unit rate discount to new and returning customers, which it claims is Ireland’s cheapest home electricity offer.

The announcement of the offer comes just a week after news of new deals from Electric Ireland and Energia, and coincides with a conference on fuel poverty held in Croke Park yesterday.

Last week, Electric Ireland revealed its new €50 cashback offer for new customers, with Energia also announcing that it would give €50 back to new ‘dual fuel’ customers, or €20 to those signing up for gas or electricity only.
