Bord Gáis Raises Energy Prices | Belfast News

Energy prices are skyrocketing as Bord Gáis Energy hikes gas and electricity bills starting October 9th—electricity up 9% (€15/month), gas up 11-12% (€11-12/month), and dual fuel customers facing over €26 extra monthly, totaling more than €300 a year. The company blames rising network costs, volatile wholesale markets, inflation, and global conflicts—and insists this is their first increase in four years, still offering the lowest standing charge. Meanwhile, the government rejects universal energy credits, arguing short-term fixes won’t solve the root problem and pushing for lasting structural solutions instead.
