Residents of a south Dublin estate have hit out at their heating provider Kaizen Energy over a 140% overnight price increase.
Last month, tenants of Haliday House apartments in Cualanor in Dun Laoghaire were informed their heating prices were increasing from €0.233/kWh to €0.56/kWh, on top of a €1.08 daily standing charge. Kaizen Energy operates a community heating system in the estate and provides heating and hot water -but not natural gas - to the apartments.
Residents are unable to switch to other providers as Kaizen is the sole heating provider from the development. Tenants have blasted the situation as "grim" as they cannot avail of any cheaper options on the market.
