Clare SVP Hopeful Energy Supplier Commitment Will Ease Pressure On Households

Clare SVP has expressed hope that a new commitment from Ireland’s energy suppliers will mean people won’t have to make the tough choice between heating and eating.

Bord Gáis Energy, Electric Ireland, Energia, Flogas, Prepay Power, SSE Airtricity have all signed up to a revamped voluntary code which means households that engage with their supplier can’t have their supply cut off.

Under the code, consumers are deemed to be “engaged” provided they communicate with their supplier either directly or through a third-party representative such as Saint Vincent De Paul.

Clare SVP president Denis Carty says he hopes the new agreement will ease pressure on households that are stretched thin when it comes to meeting energy costs.
