You pay your bills to Electric Ireland, not the ESB. They are not the same company. I think the government required generation and supply to be split about 10 years ago.
irish begrudgery at its best, i for one am very happy they did well for themselves, hopefully they can pump some money into upgrading the grid so i dont have 7 to 10 power cuts per year
I believe a lot of these profits were made from contracts outside the country. So fair play to them bringing it back to Ireland.
I should tell Revenue I’m two separate organisations. One that earns money and one that pays tax. The latter has no income.
Edit: spelling of two. I blame auto correct
Russia provided 20% of Europes energy, but since that was rightly sanctioned, energy prices have shot up by 150% at least.
It doesn’t ad up, until you see news like that.
Windfall tax please
Does it matter ESB and Electric Ireland are different entities when one is making record profit *during an energy crisis*?
