Bord Gáis looking for 10% price increase

Gas bills are set to rise as Bord Gáis looks for a 10% price hike from the Energy Regulator.

The Irish Independent reports that families will face an average increase of more than €150 in their gas and electricity bills this year, pushing them past the €2,000 mark annually.

However, those using heating oil can look forward to their bills coming down, as worldwide prices fall.
