  1. “The hike comes just weeks after the ESB Group reported bumper operating profits of €679m for last year.” – Need to keep those profits rolling in.

  2. Not so bad living in a studio apartment now! I can just leave the oven door open after cooking dinner, to get me through the night.

  3. *”The standing charge for electricity is going up by 35pc. Gas standing charges will increase by 25pc.”*

    Why? Why the hell are the standing charges going up as well?

  4. So how do we protest this? Since all the energy companies are doing it, we can’t keep
    Switching providers.

    So what can we do?

  5. Everyone listened to the NIMBYs and their crazy uncle Bob who said that solar panels are all made by the CIA and wind turbines are all funded by George Soros and here we are.

  6. No coincidence at all that this is exactly fifteen days after Bord Gáis did the same.

    Customers who switched to the ESB as a result of the Bord Gáis price hikes will now be out of their fourteen day cooling off period.

    This is absolutely deliberate, and it’s disgusting cartelism. But of course, it’s our fault for not shopping around enough, isn’t it, Micheál? Only now if we do shop around, we’re being conned into joining up with companies which are acting in concert with each other to raise prices with absolutely no government intervention to stop them.

  7. Stupid question;

    How in the name of god is Russia/Crude Oil/ Gas affecting the price of electricity from all of these suppliers of “100% renewable electricity”?

  8. Has anyone stopped to consider maybe these multi billion euro companies should just be forced to make slightly less money for a while?
