Commission limits Northern Ireland Electricity price rises

Proposed price rises to electricity bills in Northern Ireland are set to be limited by the UK's Competition Commission.

Northern Ireland Electricity, which operates and maintains the network, had wanted to add about £25 (€29.80) a year to the average consumer bill for the next five years to pay for infrastructure improvements, but the commission has made a provisional determination that it can only charge £5 (€5.90) extra per year.
