An unprecedented hike of 30% in SSE Airtricity prices for over 300,000 households means further rises are "almost a certainty", according to advocates.
SSE Airtricity announced its fourth price increase since the start of 2021 on Friday, adding almost €600 to the average annual electricity bill and over €510 to the average gas bill from October 1.
