Northern Ireland supplier to increase electricity prices
Click Energy, the smallest of the five electricity suppliers in Northern Ireland has announced it will increase its electricity prices by 28.2% from 1st October.
The move is predicted to impact around 26,000 customers, according to the Consumer Council.
Raymond Gormley, Head of Energy Policy at The Consumer Council, said: “The increase is due to the continuing rise of wholesale energy costs. However, this news will still come as a big disappointment to Click Energy customers as it is its second increase since July and it comes at a time when many are experiencing extreme pressures on their household budgets with significant rises in home heating oil, natural gas, coal, grocery, and transport fuel costs.”
A Click Energy spokesperson told ELN: “We are fully aware that this is very unwelcome news for our customer base. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, especially in light of other recent price hikes. Tariffs are set as a direct consequence of prices on the global market and are completely beyond our control. We know this is a very difficult time for many and we encourage any of our customers who need support to call our dedicated team to discuss ways in which we can help.”
