Bord Gáis becomes latest energy supplier to announce price cuts

Managing director of Bord Gáis Energy Dave Kirwan claimed the second reduction in four months will result in dual-fuel customers saving almost €1,000 a year on their bills when the November and February drops are combined.

Bord Gáis Energy has said 600,000 customers will benefit from its latest round of energy price cuts, with a 10% reduction in electricity, 9.5% in gas, and 8% in standing charges from the end of February.

It is the second time in four months the firm has dropped costs for consumers, following Electric Ireland’s announcement on Monday it was to cut its electricity and gas rates.
