Power NI customers are to see a 14% increase in their electricity bills despite the company reducing its unit price.
From April 1, customers will see a 3.72p increase per unit in their energy bills primarily due to the reduced support that will be provided by the UK Government's Energy Price Guarantee scheme.
Power NI has said that due to a fall in wholesale market costs, it would be reducing its price per unit by 6.61p, however due to the EPG scheme reducing support by 10.33p per unit, customers' bills will increase in the coming months.
