The Consumer Council has issued advice as energy prices increases are set to come into effect in Northern Ireland over the next few days.
Price increases from providers Budget Energy, Click Energy, Electric Ireland, Firmus Energy, and SSE Airtricity are due to come into effect. The most recent of these price rise announcements is from Budget Energy, who announced a 32% increase earlier this month.
Peter McClenaghan, Director of Infrastructure and Sustainability at the Consumer Council, said: “This week all but one energy company in Northern Ireland will apply large price increases to domestic consumer bills. These increases will heighten the cost-of-living pressure most Northern Ireland consumers are already experiencing.
