Fianna Fáil TD Christopher O’Sullivan is calling for the nightsaver electricity rate to be brought back a few hours, from 11pm to 8pm, to help more people make energy savings.
Mr O’Sullivan will point out at the Oireachtas environment committee today that the late time the rate kicks in is not convenient.
And he will also say that this means the potential savings and environmental benefits of more sustainable usage off-peak is being lost because of the current pricing structure.
