Daragh Cassidy on Newstalk

Electric Ireland is the first energy supplier to increase the price of its electricity in almost 12 months due to increased costs on the single electricity market.

The increase in charges to be passed on to consumers unfortunately coincides with the introduction of the updated Public Service Obligation levy (PSO), which will see it rise by a massive 130% from last year - a double whammy of price increases for energy customers.

Our Head of Communications at bonkers.ie, Daragh Cassidy appeared on Newstalk to discuss the reasons behind Electric Ireland's most recent price change and how consumers can switch and save on their energy bills.
