Bonkers.ie warns energy prices will never return to levels seen before the war in Ukraine.

Households have been warned to brace for a “new normal” of significant hikes to energy bills this winter, as the Government continues to rule out one-off support measures in the budget.

Energia has become the latest utility company to announce hikes, with electricity prices going up by 10.9% and smart meter electricity prices by 12.1% from next month.
