Dubliners could be hit with over €60 more on their electricity bill this Christmas.
With Christmas just around the corner, Irish households will decorate their homes and trees with lights as part of the festivities. Most houses will use some form of a combination of indoor tree lights, outdoor rope lights, and light-up garden decorations.
However, rising energy costs are a huge concern for people this year as research from Wizer shows that households could on average add around €62.25 to their electricity bill this December by illuminating their homes with old incandescent bulbs. However, there are ways to keep the bills down, according to Martin Desmond, MD of Wizer Energy.
