Northern Ireland is facing a double energy bills hammer blow as SSE announces massive hikes in both gas and electricity.
The firm is today telling customers their electricity bills are to rocket by more than 35% while gas customers are facing a hike of over 28%.
SSE Airtricity says the 35.4% rise in its ‘residential electricity unit prices’ will come into effect on October 1. A 28.3% rise in gas bills will come into effect on the same day, SSE Airtricity Gas NI says.
