Irish households are in for a cash boost as they are set to be paid the first €200 electricity credit from next week.
Around 2.25 million domestic electricity customers will automatically receive the sum off their energy bills after November 1.
It is the first of three energy credits worth €600 in total, to be paid in three €200 instalments over the winter, which were announced in Budget 2023 to help ease the effects of the cost-of-living crisis.
