Days left for households to submit meter readings before Electric Ireland and Bord Gais price hikes

Electric Ireland and Bord Gais Energy have just days left to submit their meter reading before October.

Energy prices are set to hike next month and reading your meter before then may result in significant savings. Electric Ireland announced on September 1 their plans to increase residential electricity bills by 26.7% and gas bills by 37.5% with effect from October 1, 2022.

The increases will equate to €37.20 per month on the average residential electricity bill and €42.99 per month on the average residential gas bill - based on the estimated annual bill as defined by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU).
