The majority of energy suppliers in the Republic of Ireland have enacted several price rises in one or both electricity and gas tariffs.
Figures collated by Eurostat show in the latter half of 2020, Ireland already ranked fourth highest for electricity prices in the EU and seventh highest for gas prices. Prices have seen further gains through the year as suppliers have raised tariff levels. Some electricity price tariffs increase by 44% (as shown in Table 1 and Table 2), with most citing a significant increase in wholesale costs.
