Irish consumers to see lower electricity bills as levy to fund renewable energy to fall 38%

Hard-pressed Irish households will see a fall in the PSO levy on their bills from October 1.

Irish households will have €24 added on to their electricity bills over the next year to help fund renewable energy projects and meet climate goals, the energy regulator has said.

The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) set out the final decision for the public service obligation (PSO) levy for 2025/26, which is shared across all electricity customers to help support projects such as wind and solar across the country.
