Construction News Image
Firmus Energy has announced a reduction of 15.6 per cent on gas tariffs for domestic and small business customers in the Ten Towns and the Greater Belfast network area.

The annual gas bill of a typical household with a credit meter in the Ten Towns network, will be reduced by around £213 and a Firmus Energy customer in the Greater Belfast gas network with a credit meter will be saving about £237 per year.

For those customers with a prepayment gas meter (PAYG) in the Ten Towns gas network, costs will reduce by around £208 per year and in the Greater Belfast network, this saving will be around £234.

This decrease which will be welcomed by almost 112,000 domestic and small business customers follows on from a previous Firmus Energy tariff decrease in 2023.

Raymond Gormley, our Head of Energy Policy said: “These gas tariff decreases are very welcome news as they indicate a downward trend in wholesale energy prices. We have worked closely with the Utility Regulator and regulated supply companies over the past two years. This work focused on providing additional support and protection for consumers facing exceptionally high energy prices. This work to support and protect consumers will continue. With wholesale prices now falling we will also ensure cost savings are passed onto consumers as soon as possible.”
