Michael Legg, Head of Energy Policy at The Consumer Council, said, “This news will come as a disappointment to all SSE Airtricity electricity consumers especially during a time when many are experiencing increasing pressures on their household budgets.

“Any consumers who are experiencing financial difficulty and are struggling with their energy bills should contact their supplier without delay to talk about how they can help you during these times.
