Firmus Energy has announced a 12.48% price reduction for around 50,000 customers across its Ten Town networks.

This is the third successive price drop in the last 12 months which means from the start of October the average customer in the Ten Towns network will pay close to 40% less for their natural gas than September 2019.

firmus energy's domestic customers can expect their typical annual tariff to reduce by £63 per year.

Michael Scott, Managing Director of firmus energy, said: "We recognise that many households and businesses are facing severe financial uncertainty because of ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, while others will have seen their energy consumption change significantly as a result of working and schooling from home.

"We appreciate the hardship that many of our customers are facing and are committed to providing the lowest possible prices to ensure natural gas continues to be an attractive offering for both domestic and business customers.

"More and more homeowners are seeing the environmental and lifestyle benefits of natural gas which provides instant heat, a constant supply of hot water, peace of mind of never running out and frees up space in the home. It is a much cleaner fuel than oil too so we are witnessing a surge in homeowners, who care about their environmental impact, making the move to natural gas."
